FWmaker Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 OK - so I'm sitting here with a freakin' cracked oil burner. Arrrrrrgh! First I have to have asbestos removal on pipes, burner, and inside the burner as well. That's approx $650. Then I've been offered to replace burner with a 4-section unit with a coil (to heat water in the house). Small cape. Not dormered yet. Was looking to do so in about 2 yrs. The brand of the unit is Ultimate. No, actually I think it's Utica. Any clues as to cost of unit and installation? Is this a reliable brand? I'm starting my research but am looking for any informed opinions. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjoe Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Looks like no Huddle experts on this. I did work on them many years ago but mostly it was the 100 and 200 lb hot water boilers and 1200 lb steam boilers on ships. I did very little with ones in homes except maybe clean my own and change oil filters and nozzles. Sorry.

Front Row Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Replaced ours 15 yrs. ago with a Weil-Mclain have had zero issues and very efficient. We had a Super-stor water storage tank installed also, no issues with it either. If I had it to do again though , I would consider an oil fired Water heater instead of a storage tank , like this one we have a Brock in our new home and there is a noticeable difference in oil consumption during the warm months, compared to the system where the boiler also made the hot water. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
