I just installed a new Keystoker A150 this summer to replace a Reading unit that was on last legs.

This maybe a bit large for your house but concept applies.

It comes in pieces...all of which will fit through the door you describe. Getting stuff DOWN STEPS into a basement will be a bit of a chore (I have a ground level basement entrance)..

Be aware that as you assemble it, things start to get heavy and tough to move around.

Since I was working on my own, I used a engine lift borrowed from my nephew..this on a concrete floor. The engine lift was almost as heavy as some of the Keystoker parts..but I needed extra sets of hands that I did not have available.

In about 3 hours I had it fully assembled (mechanically) and ready to connect to ducting / chimney and power...but in reality it is NOT a one man job.

yes okay... have you used the oil burner on it, have provisions for 1 exhaust pipe , is the A150 same, one exh pipe for oil burner , and running on coal.
