primary-secondary benefits?

is to look in the Quantum installation manual and see which proposal conforms to the piping diagrams and instructions therein. If you don't have yours, download it from http://www.dunkirk.com/ .

is the added expense of primary secondary worth it?

I have a 7 y.o. dunkirk quantum boiler, and it has never heated my home properly, or my hot water for that matter (phaze 3 indirect).

I have had several opinions from plumbing/heating guys and every one is different, but all but one quote says i should just install a sprial vent and i should be fine.

The dissenting contractor says that 1 taco 007 is not enough for 4 zones, and that i should be using 1 circulator for each zone, not zone valves. He also says it is important to use a method called primary secondary piping as it will save me money and add life to my boiler.

The Problem : The contractor who (to me) makes the most sense wants close to $5000.00 to make the repairs - says the whole job was piped very, very wrong. I dont want to spend 5000.00 on a boiler i already spent 8900.00 to have installed 7 years ago.

The other guys all have the same opinions as each other and say they can fix my problems for under $1000.00, but do not seem as competent as the expensive guy who is very sure that a spiral vent will not solve my issues. He says i do not have air problems. He says my problems started the last time I tried to save money (with a laugh!)

I am confident that the expensive guy knows his stuff, but I am worried that maybe he is going overboard on me.

any thoughts would be very helpful.Thanks.

We have some individuals here who enjoy the challenge as it were . We sometimes group think it when it is truly a top notch botch. It is like doing a chess puzzle or extra large crossword puzzle .*~/:)

I just gave a bid to a guy who said the same thing..."why are you charging me this when I just had a boiler put in for that? I asked him with a chuckle " and how did that guy's job work out for you?" It was a really, really bad install. maybe with some pictures of the boiler & piping, we could ensure the new guy is right...
