Possible to convert Burnham boiler from oil to gas?
Hi everyone, I was wondering if I have a Burnham boiler (model MPO-1Q115-TL), can I get it converted from oil to gas? It's about 5 years old. I already use gas for stoves and want to use gas for water and steam radiant heating since gas is more affordable and convenient. If I can get it converted, does the contractor need certain parts or replace the whole boiler? Because when they gave me estimates, multiple contracts are telling me different things. Many thanks!!

A boiler that has been used with oil has to be cleaned REALLY WELL before installing a gas gun and a chimney liner might have to be installed. Be aware that converting it will void the warranty on the boiler.
We don't discuss pricing on this site but if you tell us what area of Mass you are in we might be able to steer you to someone who will do a great job for you.

The Carlin EZ-Gas Pro is another good choice- it's the one we use the most.
