Used Heat-Timers?
I’ve got an older Heat-Timer installed that has gone bad. I called Heat-Timer in to have a look and they tell me it can’t be repaired and they are pricing a new one at over $3,000! Do any of you know some sort of supply store that sells used (but tested) Heat-Timers? Thanks.

pronto gas heating supply on chyrstie and rivington in manhattan will sell you a rebuilt board if you bring in your old one
And a new unit should save you about $1,000 compared to a Heat-Timer.
Heat Timer is old technology. Tekmar is the new way to control a heating system. http://www.tekmarcontrols.com/consumer.html
For what it’s worth, our coop was in a similar position a few years ago and our oil dealer suggested using a “Fuel Watchman” brand timer in lieu of replacing the Heat-Timer. The cost was similar. We’ve realized oil savings of 10-15% with the new device after accounting for degree-days.
