after researching, talking to plumbers who specialize in hydronic heat, and pricing out all the panels i have found that runtals have one of the best reputations, but also the highest price. Too high for our heating budget which is low if you take the $4500 for the wood stove out of the equation.
I have heard from several heating/plumbing guys that mysons (and other inexpensive brands that they did not specify or I do not remember) we lacking in quality and construction.
I had several recommendations for buderus and one for veha. In looking into both, it appears they are the same and most likely produced in the same east asian factory. Veha's models are the same ones that buderus stocks. Buderus has many models that veha does not, but lead time is something like 6 weeks.
Veha sells direct and my plumbing supply house (where i get 40% off list) carries buderus. Veha has great customer service, at least that has been my experience so far. They respond to emails usually with-in an hour. My buderus customer service has been through a middle man, my plumbing supply house. Veha is over 50% cheaper than the buderus at my good price. Veha say they ship out next day and I do not pay sales tax. Buderus is over 10 days, I pay tax but no shipping. I am going with veha.
