    Pretty cool.
    I have to swap my boiler out but I’m gonna replace every valve cause my luck one would break first time I turned it.
    I liked this video because I have two zones as well and my set up is very similar to this one.

    Peerless gas boilers, one of the best. Have a Peerless MC-04 in my house that I installed myself in 1991, only thing failed was the pilot about 10 years ago (no electronic ignition here) and Honeywell aquastat 5 years ago, otherwise running like a champ. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

    Never want to run them water heaters on the highest setting, it will kill the life of the tank by half if not more, plus you could seriously burn yourself or especially a child. I always set them at the second from the low setting (not away) that’s plenty hot enough. If you are not getting enough hot water then you need a bigger tank, not turn the thermostat on the highest setting.

    Questions: I did not see where you installed the scoop. Also, the expansion tank was installed on the hot water supply side. I normally see the expansion tank under the scoop attached to the cold water supply line. Can you please explain that. The MI/MIH II installation diagram shows the circulator pump after the scoop and not on the side of the boiler. Although in another home, I have an MI/MIH boiler with the circulator on the return on the side of the boiler which is how you installed it on one.

    Hi Steven - thanks for sharing. I'm having alot trouble finding someone reliable and knowledgeable in the DC area that know Boilers. I was wondering what is the best way to find a good tech? Also how much does getting a new boiler usually cost?

    I have a baseboard boiler system / water heater in my house with a 36 year old Burnham boiler. A new boiler runs $3k or so but in our town they want $15k for the job! Ouch! Looking to do it myself perhaps. How hard can it be :)

    Such nice simple boilers. Thing of the past, unfortunately. Modern systems and radiant are so much work. And once the parasites (inspectors) get involved things get even more crazy - they want everything to be "made of gold". They don't give a crap how much of your customer's money they spend on unnecessary crap.

    Does anyone know how long a weil mcclain gas boiler about 175btu should last. Mines got some corrosion on the gas pipes and salesman said firewall crumbling and 'sludge' and usually replaced every 12 years. But here comments say lasted 30 yrs or more. Whats the truth? I had people take a look bc it would shutoff if it ran too hot. Thanks

    I was gonna ask Steve a couple questions but it looks like nobody got answers so why bother.
    If I was the homeowner I would have asked him to replace every single valve in those water pipes with brand new stuff.
    I’m probably going to do my own install just to make sure it’s done right.

    Looks like a cast iron boiler? I need to replace oil boiler in a rental house and one plumber suggested high efficiency gas boiler. I think I would rather have a cast iron system install? Any feedback? I plan to have this rental house for many years.

    • @mberge1
      @mberge1 2 роки тому +1

      @@stevenlavimoniere I agree, I think a basic cast iron boiler would be better. This is a rental house so the tenants pay the utilities. Does your company serve New Jersey?

    In Maryland we have to attach the expansion tank with a bracket to a wall or suitable surface that can withstand the weight when it fails. It wouldn't pass inspection being supported by the piping only. Thank you for the video.

    Was that a Bradford boiler? Also why the 2 gas regulators, is it that much of a high gas pressure?

      @Fireship1 5 років тому +1

      Ray Ray Peerless Boiler. I only saw one main regulator at the meter. Unless you mean the gas valve at the boiler. It has a regulator built in to bring pressure to the boiler to about 3.5 water column.
