Beware of the condensate trap/ lines freezing as well.

NOT

The installer won't come back out to warranty the problems.

Mod-con boiler in the attic, at least with a real set of stairs, not a pull down.

Problem number one is that the condensate from the air handler is tied in with the condensate from the boiler. Around here, that's a code violation. Oh, there's no neutralization on the condensate line either, even if it dumps straight outside.

Problem number two is worse, in my opinion. The installer piped the pressure relief using CPVC. As I recall, the pressure relief may exceed 180° if it pops on a call from the indirect. Looks like that one will need to be replaced.

Pictures to come soon.

Good point, Guy

I did mention it to them. Of course, our design is a mere 23°, so it shouldn't be much of a problem. I will ask them if they want it insulated and heat taped.

Here's the pictures.

The boiler is in the attic. As I said to Guy, I am going to suggest insulation and heat tape for the condensate trap and line. I have already suggested insulating the piping.

The overall job looks nice, but there are some issues.

gas valve

That gas valve is usually upstream of the union. You may want to check the install instructions

That's on the list.

So is adding return air ducting to the air handler, insulating (I said that before), re-running the relief line in copper, and more.

Lotsa little things on this one. I didn't install it, just called in to repair it and bring it up to code.
