i'm not here to bash ek, if all he's can jump on me for is because of a front clean out, i could care less if the 2012 models were self cleaning, my point was that a pensotti low mass cold start...
maybe you would like to tell my customer how come ek was closed all mas-x week so no part for his ek power vent could be gotten, no part no heat, and the code in mass the power vent must be proven...
a good tech can find out by feeling the output of the tankless or the mixing valve to see which one is bad, before replaceing any tankless coil i always highly recommend replaceing it with a mega...
with out door reset these cast iron low mass boiler can profrom as good if not better then the ek, you may find less maintain, better recovery and warrenty with a s/s indirect than an aqua-booster,...
Biasi, Pensotti, Trio and a few others are low mass boiler and get the same or better combustion efficencey as a EK, Supper Stor, Mega Stor both s/s and very good ind water heaters. some boiler how...
the peerless JO is up there in age and down in efficiency, think above getting a more efficient boiler and not just a burner
with outdoor reset and over-sided baseboard the lower temp water would work nicly to warm your home, so there little additional heat at this lower temp, when the indirect calls the boiler then goes...
on a taco exp control they have a plug in board that works with an indirect water heater it will run that zone after the aquastat calls to use the additional heat in the boiler, and with outdoor...
look deeper into the Pensotti, great boiler for any price, comes with the new honeywell aqua-stat thats outdoor reset ready, just need to get the sensers, do get the riello burner with any boiler you...
go with the Carlin, it does also come with a Reillo and that would be my cloice
go with an indirect, tankless coils are a pain, there was one boiler company that had a big problem with their castings, 3-pass boilers are reliable and efficient, honeywell now has a aquastat...
you have a very good and efficient (appox 87%) boiler there, have you looked into an outdoor reset to lower your fuel usage, Buderus has their own control set up, gas or oil it's a good investment,...
taco has an exp control with outdoor reset that's easy to wire and install
installed right you should be happy with either one you pick, both good set-ups
Weil McLain are good boilers but a lot i think you pay for the name, there are a lot of good quality efficient cast iron boilers out there now, the new yorker steel boiler comes with a tankless coil,...
you'll need a taco sr503exp to upgrade with an outdoor reset
if you go with the EK make shore there a company around to service it, no supply house carries the EK parts, i tried to call them last x-mas vacation, they were close for the hole week and never did...
looking for efficiency and reliable at a good buy check out a Pensotti with a Riello burner, pair it with a mega-stor indirect, hydro air is no less efficient then baseboard (maybe better)
tankless coil and power vent the frist owner was thinking more about his leather couch then he was his heat and hot water, 8 years on a power vent motor without maintain that's good, you have a...
picked up two more yesterday, five year warranty from date of install, havn't had a problem yet with them
put in quite a few hydro-air systems in south of Boston, when done properly they work just fine, haven't had a negative statment yet about these systems, a nice three pass boiler, s/s indirect with...
the D (SLD4100) i beleive signifies it's a direct vent boiler, you need to have a tech in and vent it properly to manufactor spec.
system 2000 ? i'm still waiting for a call back from them, they don't deal with any supply house and they were closed from the 24th til the 29th, good thing i could adapt something or my customer...
service call, A/C could not keep up, the company that installed it had already replaced the condenser, with a bigger one, someone had opened the flow check for the coil, company that installed the...
if your going for the most out of a boiler the Buderus is the way to go, Weil Mclain does make a 3 pass boiler but only with the NX burner, which i would stay away from, there are other 3 passes out...
changed quite a few of these only, got only the heat exchanger on warranty, rings coming apart, small cracks, got a bad rep, seen the gas company red tag a unit that wasn't running because of the...
only install s/s indirects, super stor, mega store and now wolf all good reliable units cann't go wrong with any of them, not a big fan of the tank with-in a tank or the boiler mate,
took me less then an hour on my back in a tight attic on a goodman
a hi-velocity has less duct loss then most conventional duct systems, less loss more eff. their not the last resort just more to install
hard starts are carried in the truck only takes a minute to hook one in, if he thought one would have worked it would be in, he may even have tried one, i would have
pay back and savivg are different then mine, a 3 pass gets 86+ an oil furnace lucky to get 80-less with standby loss, oil water heaters with stand by loss your in the 60's, i'm not talking viessman...
is the blower direct or belt drive, belt is usually louder, is the motor single speed, how are motor/ blower bearing
throw is into the mix, hydro-air using a 86% 3 pass boiler, if gas available mod/cond, add an indirect water heater and outdoor reset
check out the Triangle Tube Presige using an indirect
a tank with-in a tank is an efficient water heater with a stand by loss of less then 1* an hour it does sound as if the aquastat is maintaining boiler temp
with a tankless coil you need that aquastat set at 200* hi -180* low to maintance your hot water, with a indirect or elec. you can now set the hi at 180* and your low and diff. at min., or get a cold...
using a tankless coil in the boiler with a booster is not the way to go, cheap fix for using the tankless coil, an indirect is the way to go with an oil boiler then check out the warranty on these...
how old is the boiler you have now, some of the new 3 pass boilers are getting 86%, may be install an out door reset, how is your hot water heated, these might be some ways to save on oil
Radiant with a mod/cond boiler with proper design and set up can get up to 96% eff., 10 more then the nearest oil boiler without the extra piping and valves you need to protect an oil boiler with...
no tech in his rigth mind would have let the tank go this long without telling you to replace it, seen a house lifted for a 1/4 of what you store in that, reconment replacing tanks after 25 years,...
sometimes its best to get a second opinion on a bad compressor, i've replaced caps on unit that the HO was given a quote on replacing
put in a few , cann't say it stands out over any other oil furnace, quality seemed good, have the unit serviced it's short money and a good tech can tell you how well it was maintained and if there's...
your boiler and a/c unit is only 10 years old working fine, condenser has years left on it, you can install an outdoor reset or a hp condenser and coil, both will save you, how long will each take to...
with the oil cost as is a heat pump with baseboard back up is something to think about, like oil, gas and electic cost will rise to, adding an outdoor reset to an oil fired boiler can save 10-15% on...
if the furnace isn't set up for a/c get a r8184m1051 or a fan center
replaced a few goodmam HX, pulls straight out the front, may have to push the sides out some and get a long extantion for your 5/16,
this red button is it on a flame roll out switch? if you have to many 90's or a long run some unit you need to increase to 3" right at the unit then back to 2" the last 18"s
if that is true why are some manufactures sending filter assembly to be mounted to the side of their furnace blower compartment, heating and cooling systems need to be evaluated by pros
not sure of the area you live but if your going for efficiency which is the way to go, in colder climates condensing 90+ unit are not recommented for installion in unconditioned space, around here...
Buderus with a Reillo burner and an indirect water heater, great set up, very efficient boiler, logamatic control will save you on oil and pay for its self long before the 30 years
