LESLIE: Now, we’re going to help Mark in New York with a heating [1] question. What’s going on at your money pit?
MARK: Bought a house three years ago and it’s time to update the heating system.
TOM: OK.
MARK: So my question is I have an old oil heater and – it’s old; about 30 years – heated by radiator heats; you know, converted from steam now to water so all of the pipes are about three inches big. So my question is how should I upgrade?
TOM: If you have a 30-year-old boiler; you have an old, honking oil burner; you want to update it, I think installing a gas [2], modern, high-efficiency boiler would be the right thing to do because it’s going to save you a lot of money moving forward.
MARK: OK, great. Thank you very much, guys. I’ll look into that.
TOM: Alright, Mark. Thanks so much for calling us at 888-MONEY-PIT.
