I put in a new keystoker A150 forced air unit last year, and it worked great. I have an older oil furnace also in the basement that I use in mild weather, and as a backup unit. At the time I bought the keystoker I didn't realize that there was an option to get an oil burner on the coal furnace. So I am wondering, can I buy an oil burner and install it on my existing a150, or are the ones that come with the burner designed differently?

Ok, I'll look into it. My current oil boiler is still working, but I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting a combo unit, since it would eliminate a chimney and allow me to clear out a large space in the basement where the oil burner is. If it were just a matter of whether or not the mounting plat was there though, it would seem like something that could still be installed, you'd just have to cut a hole for the burner.
