Have a boiler, but do not know what it is capable of?

[2500avalanche]

I had this boiler in my house when I had radiant heat. I recently went to forced air, and I have this boiler. I do have a couple of questions taht maybe someone can help with.

1. How much is something like this worth?
2. Can this be used to do a heated driveway/walkway system?

Looks to be in great shape. I see units of this size all the time on craigslist for the 300.00 range.

If you had access to a decent plumber that could check the unit out for you, that would be best.

For your info, I use a boiler for my in floor heat in my shop, of course I have 60,000 btu's. Yours is a 112,000 btu unit. I would think that you could use this for a driveway system if you wanted to. You will have to find out what kind of energy you really need for a drive, I have no expirience on estimating the amount of heat you will need.

Thanks for the reply. I know it works fine. It has been in my house (working) until last month when we switched heating to forced air. I am just curious about this....
Thanks!
