Steve Toland_2

yes i do

Um... hhmmm... ok "a brand new New York boiler" what to do? um Call the installer back, and tell him to fix it... it's to bad sounds like you didn't get your moneys worth... and let me guess did they put a wonderful beckett burner on that New Yorker. I guess they won't be coming back to do the preventive maintenance on it. good luck

New Yorker

The New Yorker boiler is actually made by a Pennsylvania company. You might want to go to their web site and look at the information there. Did the person or company that installed the boiler give your grandmother the manual for the boiler? Did you contact them and find out what was done wrong. You could also post pictures of the boiler and it might be possible to see what is wrong. Here is the web site:

In my area

In my area the New Yorker is usually a "low bid" boiler. So so when new but they don't usually have the longevity of other brands. Being a grandmother and the age that goes with it did yours qualify for a new system under one of the fuel assistance programs? If so it is always a bid thing but they will make the contractor make it right or he won't get anymore jobs. If not have her call the installer back to fix it, hopefully there is a written warranty from the installer for a certain period of time. The company I am with gives a one year warranty on an install. I don't install but I am the guy who goes to work the bugs out. We don't have many but when we do we make it right.

Good Luck,
Leo

beckett burners

where should i begin... lol beckett burners. well speaking from experience... just ask heating supply houses... lets see they recieve hundreds of there parts per year cause of break downs thers parts don't last... waste of money. i only install riello burners. the customer does not get there choice of equiptment. and that is because i don't want to go back to that call because of numerous reasons

steve_182

yep

thousands of them are out there... and every year you have to vac the boiler do to poor design, well honeywell did help them out a little bit. any oilburners should not soot up with todays technology. anyway every boiler out there with a riello burner on it, burns a clean as natural gas close to it.

Steve your replys sound more like someone that is on a train but, has yet to looked out the window and see the whole view.

I'll bet reillo can take no more abuse from dirty oil then a beckett can.

I guess

I'm lucky to have worked on tons of clean running Becketts on boilers and furnaces over the last 18 years. Love them.

Could you elaborate, Steve, on what you are calling poor design? Or are you generalizing based on some bad installations/setups you've seen.

Any burner is only as good as a tech sets them up. I've see Riello sootups a time or two.
