LMAO, renting from the gas company in 1955. Nice job, you will slept good that night. A ton of work for one man. People in the peanut gallery have no idea.
Great install Steve especially by yourself
Steve i love watching your vids, you remind me off my boss he was like a father to me, unfortunately he passed away this year but you guys have the same work ethic, voice and say the same stuff. Thanks for the vids ive learned alot from 50 vids already and you bring bag great memories. God Bless
Lovely comment. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for commenting travis
Ask questions. No question is dumb. Especially if your new to all of this
Hey Steve, back in the day, (the early 80's) I installed many HB.Smith Mills boilers in schools and churches. Big ole suckers with the mud drums on the bottom of sections, we call them the pork chop boilers because the cast iron sections literally look like pork chops LoL!
You sure make it look easy Steve. Getting dark outside Steve is still working. Steve is workin again mama! 👍👍🤠🤠
Steve, hey man you got to understand that even though you told this lady a couple months ago she needed a new boiler, I would say 75% of the older population does not have that kind of money laying around. I really do feel sorry for these people that can barely make it by, and then when something like this happens they are basically screwed. At least she was able to come up with the funds to replace this boiler, allot of people can’t and right now are basically freezing trying everything they can to keep warm, just such a sad situation, especially here in the US. This should not be happening, but it is.
Steve always a pleasure to watch you work! You attention to detail is a cut above the rest Momma!
Hey Steve. Great work. I am retired. I enjoyed working on the hot water heating systems. More than the plumbing side of things. I am impressed that you do these larger jobs by yourself without a helper. I’m sure it’s hard to find anyone young and interested in learning the trade. They could learn so much. You probably tried it but not worth the aggravation.
Great job Steve. You make it look so easy
The one man wrecking crew doin' what he do 😂😂😂 Good install and nice looking job as usual ... Thx for sharing ...
Thanks for your videos, Steve. I’m surprised by the new tech lately. We just replaced a boiler with a raypack mvb modulating boiler for an office building vav reheat application. The boiler has a touch screen and a freggin iPhone app!?!? I like tech and all, but this seemed overkill!
I started watching your channel because I really didn’t know squat about boilers. You’ve certainly filled in missing info for me, and I was able to catch installer mistakes as a result. So, thank you again!
That's a nice install, you are a real pro.
Beautiful job as always Steve 👏
Steve, I think that old control down on the floor was a "constant level valve" for an old gravity fed oil "Pot Type Oil Burner"
Great Job Steve Nice and Professional.
That basement had a lot going on! Nice job Steven.
One man crew!
You know how to get it done.👍🇺🇸
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍. Great job Steve!
Steve, you did a great job 👏
Very nice job. Love your videos'. Saved that lady a lot of hassle.
Great video and job, Steve, a lot of work!, but I'm sure that the lady will see a bit of savings on her gas bill with the new system ! Stay warm !
Nice install Steve. I've been keeping the expansion tanks too. Extrol tanks failing left and right I'd rather just drain the tank or at least check it on tuneups.
-18 up here in my part of Maine this morning, had a few frozen oil filters to deal with.
Thats a big job for one man.good work
Looks like a good job, a lot of work.
Looked like a great install Steve
Laughing all the way to the bank baby.... Working like a real man nice job!!!!
Steve's working again yall. Looks like one helluva job.
You never cease to amaze us at what you can do all by yourself Steve! Another great job!
Very impressive
yes i can get her done .my saying is ....... lead ...follow ...or get out of the f-cking way
@@stevenlavimoniere yes! I guess when you’ve worked alone for so many years now, you just learn how to get the job done solo…after all, who’s going to come bail you out in a one man operation? Nobody, that’s who…
It's true, Steve is a real G.
@@stevenlavimoniere Tell ya What The " Ol'School " Hvac Guys have the Skills to Get it Done Alone.
Nice install Steve!
Good job Steve.
First time I've seen Steve have a leaker! Although it wasn't hit fault 😂
Looks good, nice job. Time to rest. You need a long break
You’re the man Steve
Nice job on boiler replacement Steve . Any chance you could do a video of your interaction with the supply house when you order of pick up material .?
Good job mate, great videos
Steve it was -26 here the other night with the wind chill. How bout grabbing Miss Moley and heading to Michigan to do the same job in my basement. Love your stuff
Steve you'd the man.
Damn Steve your right that was old beast!
Smooth job - A One
Nice work
Did you pop the relief valve to see if you got any air there?
Big job good work
Great job Steve! Not many remove and install a boiler alone. Beautiful job!
From one heat guy to another love watching your videos keep em comin my man
Thanks! Will do!
txs for sharing...
Dam did you see them? Romex was actually stapled in. The electrician actually did did their job.
That turned out nice and neater than the old beast , that's impressive to do that much work in a day , you do more work alone than most crews Steve . Happy New Year
i know i see other guys show up for a boiler replacement with 3 guys i just laugh ...i would do circles around them losers
@@stevenlavimoniere Two people to stand around and one person to work :-)
I always did my own jobs , that way i know its done right and neat
Why do people like dark basements? I light up mine like Walmart, lol.
So do I !!!, I always think the same thing. I give any service person the best possible conditions I can.
Nice job
"She's an old crusty beast" and the boiler isn't to great either.
Good days work right there.
nice job
do u not take the scrap or just the copper and brass
What was the 2nd boiler for...the red one? Another old one left behind or was this a duplex house or something?
You say she's an old, crusty beast, but what did you think about the boiler?
Hey Steve. It takes 5 of us to carry a boiler. How do you do it by yourself? I need your muscles!
The pressure gauge location is tight.
that scrap iron is some money also being so heavy I hope you scrap that also not just give it away & the new looks so much nicer not so much junk around it
Nice quality job Steve
I noticed that the return was iron and so was the rest of the system. Why did you tie it in with copper? Is it just easier to work with?
yes easyer to work with
Status 18 - waiting for damper to open
Give her the ol gundy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Steve, admire you for doing such a big job yourself. Work looks real good, the way you put >t all together.
Thanks 👍
"Crusty, ole beast".....reminds me of the video when you and that ol' gal were laughing about you telling her that her furnace wasn't no prom queen !! LMAO !!!
U dah MAN Steve!
No isolation valves?
out in the ice-cream truck again, doing overtime.
That was real crusty! Mr. Ginch!
James Bond (007) Circulator pump also :-)
Steve your truck has a boost leak and your diff is whining take it with a grain of salt. Me 30 years a truck and coach mechanic know the noises get it fixed just the heads up showed me your expertise now showing you mine.
He just had the truck in the shop I think in the last 6 months for the transmission to be rebuilt I wonder if the differential wasn't making noise yet because that would have been the time to address it.
This boiler was just for boiling the water or was it a steam boiler that made steam.
It heats the water, and circulates the hot water through the radiators. No steam.
At 7:28, that old part on the floor was part of a Timken "Silent Automatic" oil burner, I think...
I've see those things before. Can't think of what it is.
Everything on that is old,
Power And neutral disconnect.
Ever seen the ones with the flue on the floor ? Oil fired.
@@jonmpb578 That particular part was the "master control"--the burner would've been mounted inside the boiler (vertical rotary type), and produced a circular flame. The one type I've seen w/ the floor-level smoke pipe outlet was the GE down-fired boilers; my Grandad's house had one of these.
Nice install Steve
Hey Steve, I enjoy your videos was wondering if your a football fan? If so who’s your pro team?
New England Patriots! He is in Maskachusetts!
Hello Steve!
hello
Steve, What is the difference between an oil furnace and an oil burner? That job must have been a ball buster for you by yourself.
furnace does not have any water in it ...its a hot air furnace///// ... a boiler will have water in it with radiators
Good job
Thanks
Notice the paint and etc stacked by the hot water tank>>>>that shit should be put totally away from the furnace and etc!
what's the difference between a boiler and a water heater?
a boiler will heat the house ...... water heater is for domestic hot water for bathing / washing
@@stevenlavimoniere makes sense why not install a furnace?
Good afternoon. 👍
hello
Steve replaced the beast in the east!
did u check the combustion and check co2 levels you likely did but didn't show it on video I learned alot from your videos love watching you keep it up steve!
The boiler is minutes old. I check the draft with a match but that's about it on a new install. If the flame is looked off i could see checking the combustion but its not really needed on a brand new boiler. But it should probably be done you are right.
I know when he changes a gas valve he checks with that machine to.see.ppm are set correct Yeats what I mean but maybe they are calibrated already when installed
Nice job Steve, as always. You mentioned you prefer Peerless over New Yorker steam boilers. Do you like Peerless better than Weil Mc-Lain and Burnham too? Any you would recommend to stay away from entirely? Thanks.
As far as hydronic boilers, not sure about steam boilers, I know he isn't a fan of Weil Mc-Lain but I'm not sure why. There are a lot of them out there. I will be getting a new boiler in a couple of months and I'm the same as you, not sure what is best in terms of longevity and no leaks :-) I will probably end up getting whatever the hvac guy specializes in.
@@DAS-Videos I actually have a 22 year old Burnham SIN7 gas steam boiler. I have it looked at each year by my service company. In advance of their arrival, I generally take off and clear the pig tail, flush out the system and put in a Hercules boiler cleaner. I have learned how to replace certain parts myself. By doing this the unit has served me pretty well with no troubles. This year I will also pull out and clean all the steel tube burners as part of my own work. Like you, I deferred to my plumber in selecting this particular model back in 2000. I wish you success in whatever brand you pick.
`She`s crusty momma `
👍🏻
"she's an old crusty beast" which one, the boiler or the lady?.....................................sorry/not sorry :P
Did it pass the combustion test, because we didn't see that? Just want to be sure that
Having it changed in the middle of the winter isn't ideal for a homeowner.
i told her in november it needed to go she waited ..not me
@@stevenlavimoniere If she got it before January the price of the boiler might have been less money too. Anyway, great work.
why not a lockinvar much better system
First one in the comments let's see what quality job that Steve does. Hopefully it wasn't a total shit show.
I always carry a spare
spare what ??
@@stevenlavimoniere oil burners , I often have to change it out and get the whole thing rebuilt and then I end up going back and reinstalling , never hurts to carry a spare everything for all the type of work that we do , HVAC work can be time consuming as I know that you realize that ,in today's world seems like everything is universal
January 12 2022 surely?
Why doesn't any of these houses have a regular h/vac system instead of outdated boiler systems.????? Seems like all the houses have antiquated plumbing also.!!!!!. Nothing like that is allowed on the west coast.!!
???????
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
most of these houses are well over 100 years old and some of them didn't even have a central heating systems when originally built, they had multiple fireplaces in them and were retrofitted over the years to make peoples live a little easier...welcome to New England...circa 1492
Crappy setup for the relief valve and the tridicator.
yes i agree
Nice job!
Thanks for the videos!
