- We got asked to come out to a new client's home in Chelmsford MA. He had this Weil-McLain gas fired 3 zone boiler installed with a HTP super-Stor indirect water heater, 1 year ago. It never worked properly since it was installed. We had to completely cut out all the old piping, this so called contractor had done to this homeowner. We prefabricated a proper piping layout at our shop for this client and returned a few days later to cut out all the incorrect piping and install the new proper piping layout for this client to finally get the heat and hot water working as designed. It bothers me when there are people who are supposedly professionals out there that would do something like this and drive away and think they did the right thing for the client. They have no pride in there own profession and to me do not belong in this business.
The Consequences of Improper Boiler Installation
When it comes to boiler installation, it is essential that the job is done right. An improper boiler installation can lead to a wide array of problems for the homeowner, including leaks in the piping or water systems, or even a bad boiler itself. This can be caused by incorrect plumb work, valves that don’t fit properly, and more. The result of an improper boiler installation can be expensive and time-consuming repairs down the line when trying to fix the issues caused. In some cases, homeowners may need to install a new boiler entirely if the existing one is too damaged from improper installation. Whether you are installing a steam boiler or any other type of boiler system, it is important to make sure it is installed correctly. Improperly installed boilers can cause serious problems such as water damage and inefficient heating due to valve and pipe issues. If you are considering replacing your current boiler with a new one, make sure you hire an experienced technician who will do th job correctly so you don’t have any costly consequences later on due to improper boiler installation.
Installing a new boiler is a significant investment for any homeowner. The last thing you want is for your new heating system to cause more problems than it solves. Unfortunately, improper boiler installation can result in serious consequences. In this blog post, we will explore the risks of improper boiler installation and why it’s crucial to choose a professional installer to ensure your new boiler operates safely and efficiently.
Some Problems of Improper Boilers Installation Work
Having your boiler serviced on a regular basis is an important part of keeping it running smoothly. The frequency of servicing depends on the type and age of the boiler, but typically a boiler should be serviced once a year by a qualified HVAC technician. During a service call, the technician will inspect and clean the parts, check for gas leaks and safety devices, and make any necessary adjustments or repairs. They’ll also check that all connections are secure and properly sealed to ensure efficient operation. Regular servicing helps to prevent issues such as poor performance or unexpected breakdowns, so it’s important not to skip an annual visit from your HVAC professional. It may take some time out of your day, but it could save you money in the long run-and more importantly, help keep your family safe.

Absolutely, beautiful craftsmanship👍 The customer was extremely lucky to find a plumbing company that insists on doing the job right.
Thank you 👍 I’ll never understand how some “contractors” feel that they can be such hacks and totally ignore the manufactures installation instructions.
top notch install preparing the flow/return manifold separately then mounting on the wall will impress all including the non technical, it will always make trouble shooting easier without having to trace unknown pipings very well done you are a credit to the trade james in the UK
Thank you James appreciate the shout out from the UK👍
Great looking workmanship, love using pro press myself as well.
Wiring also looks good in MC/BX most of the time that gets piano strung and looks like garbage. Pre fabing that panel at shop also cut down on time at job and no heat.
Yea, I'd say that was horrible install. I'm not a fan of pro press, yet. That was professional and detailed, awesome job !
I’ve been using the pro press since 1999 when it was first allowed in Massachusetts. I can count on one hand the leaks that have happened. Only once was a fitting missing a o ring. And the others were when I tried to press on to old type M copper that was too old brittle and crumbled.
Ralph, I'll take your word for it. I'm retiring soon. I had no idea it was around since '99. Tx 4 comment.
This is one of the only times I have seen a gv-90 on UA-cam
Not my choice of boiler. Original contractor provided it and installed it completely wrong. We had to make it work right after a year of it not working properly and leaking and corrosion all over it.
@@PlumbRalph it's not a bad boiler just overly expensive compared to a small unit that probably only has a ten year life span at best.
It seems over complicated for a little boiler.
What did the rest of the system look like ? I can only imagine there is more to do
The sticker on the nipple going into the air purger was a dead give away.
WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL BUDGET FROM CLIENT TO THE BOILER GUY TO INSTALL SAID BOILER ????
IN ALL FAIRNESS . WAS THIER A BUDGET TO REPLACE BOILER AND PIPES AND HARDWARE?
Not sure what he paid the original guy. He surely regretted it because he got a tail light warranty and the other guy wouldn’t come back to fix it.
