With the high price for propane, I'm thinking of switching from a Rinnai propane to a Toyotomi oil and would probably install it myself over the summer. Where to go locally to go window shopping Toyotomi to find some discontinued five year old model, direct vent, 30,000 btu room heater, or something like that?

My Rinnai has been faultless what with never not working perfectly in about 15-years, or ever needing any service. Most likley, a Toyotomi would need to get a yearly cleaning or something because it burns either oil or kerosene or a mixture.

Is there a Totyotomi dealer set up someplace local where I can go take a look-see and ask lots of questions before searching on Craigslist for somebody's used Toyotomi, or something like that at the Saint Vincent De Paul Plumbing and Heating oopsie-doopsie, we changed our mind store?

Say....guess what...both Rinnai and Toyotomi are Japanese companies and make extremely efficient use of propane or oil, while the big American company, Empire Comfort Systems used to build propane units that were big, fat, propane fuel hogs. Maybe Empire has finally changed their way, and copycatted its' competition at Rinnai......have no clue?
