woops... never mind this won't work for anyone. The reason it is so cheap is apparently you can't get the parts needed to repair it because they are no longer being made anywhere.

From the website of the company in Seattle who used to do repairs on the Ardic heaters.
Ardic Products

"Scan Marine Equipment is an authorized service center for Ardic and Volvo forced air and hydronic heating units. These sturdy, well built heaters were capable of many years of service when given proper maintenance, but Ardic systems are no longer manufactured and there are no parts available.

With no repair parts, there is very little we can do for a failed Ardic or Volvo product."
