Just attended a training on Viessmann Boilers and controls at local distributor here in Bozeman and it was really great to see such an amazing product coming to market. Their 200 series boilers actually sense incoming air and gas to the combustion chamber and then fine tune them to the conditions that are present. This means that gas quality and air pressure can change and the system adjusts both to get the most efficient burn. Their 200 series boilers also has an internal card that can be changed for high altitude installations so that you don’t have to derate their boilers like other manufacturers. Meaning that the btus on the boiler are the same at any altitude unlike most boilers that lose efficiency at higher altitudes above 5000 ft. Check out their great products which also include solar hot water systems.

Laing has produced a great electric boiler designed to heat spaces up to 2500 square feet. I own the EPR12 which is a 12 kilowatt boiler that produces about 41000 btus/hr of heating capacity. This works well for my well insulated home and keeps us nice and toasty even in -20 F temperatures. The unit is very compact and requires 60 amps of capacity from your electric panel. The three 4kw elements fire incrementally depending on how much hot water is needed and it is very quiet. No need for venting and the energy used by this boiler can be directly offset by solar electricity. They have many sizes of boilers and they are perfect for small spaces or additions to your home. And it boasts close to 99% efficiency in converting electricity to heat.
