Hello –
Burnham being the dominant brand in the boiler industry I am wondering if there are smaller and reputable brands out there with good dealer service.
This is just in case premature corrosion problem is discovered in the boiler heat exchangers during a visit from the local Burnham dealer technician.
We have a fairly young (less then 10 years old) Burnham that replaced an oil fired unit for a hotwater baseboard heating system.
Many sensible features were not added or omitted during this switchover by the previous owners – no air separator and not enough isolation valves. There are galvanized or cast iron supply and return pipes (the radiator piping are copper) and improper pitch leading to the steel expansion tank.
There is also corrosion buildup that I discovered while working on the fill valve and pressure reducing valve assembly, which was taken care of by replacing the sections of galvanized piping around the valves.
There must be other brands of natural gas hot water boilers with good service records ?
Thanks for your help.
