Atco will check heat exchangers as part of their free inspection program. I get them to check mine once a year. But they are probably extremely busy now, doubt you’ll get an appt in 2022 if you sign up nowThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My boiler runs the floors in the basement, garage and the bathrooms. Also heats DHW. It basically allows for unlimited hotwater and it heats so fucking fast. We have had 3 showers going at the same time and the water stayed hot.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The only reason I didn't run hydronic heat off the boiler through the furnace is that I wanted redundancy. You boiler becomes your single point of failure and in -30, there isn't a heat pump that works at that temp. Sure, you can have resistive heat as backup, but it just adds to the cost.

Thanks, that's good to know! I wasn't planning to get into it until spring anyway - I don't want to have to screw around with furnace repairs in the winter and for now it doesn't have any obvious symptoms of a major exchanger failure.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

My brother's boiler went down. We actually had to go and get two 220v heaters from Lowes as he doesn't have a fireplace. Many things will work in a pinch.

Don't those systems use electric heat to melt the ice off the coils? Seems wildly inefficient in cold weather.
The focus isn't really the efficiency, but more to get off gas. push emissions down the line to the coal fired power plant.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Everyone I ever hear talking about Pete the Plumber raves about them. Seems that they are pretty legit in terms of customer service.
I have used them several times and haven’t been unhappy.
They probably aren’t the cheapest in town, but they show up on time do what you ask them to and do it all right.

They did my furnace and AC. Came over and sat with me, didn't treat me like a complete moron with the quote. I compared it to two others and they were cheaper. Did a great job. My house is warm AF and the two stage is sweet.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Would recommend to you beyond lunatics.

They replaced my hot water tank years ago, guy was also kind enough to fix a couple of leaky pex quick connects for me for the grand sum of like $20.
Mrs. Penguin booked them to do 2 water heaters and add a softener. I was .... a bit concerned due to the cheesy ads, but I was quite impressed with the work, and price.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
They're not cheap, but they're not bad.
I do have a co-worker who's the only one I know who's not happy with them. They suggested to him to change from normal hot water tank to instant one and nothing but problems. They wiped their hands clean of the mess after a few years. Poor recommendation/upsell and just a nightmare afterwards.
