Cast iron radiators

thechases · March 23

We are selling nine cast iron radiators (location is VT). Happy to discuss price. We are new to this forum. We had these in our house, but put in a new heating system. Have no use for them. Thank you.

Will you uninstall, paint, pressure test, provide new valves and deliver? We'd better see some pics of: their size, configuration, style etc. Are they steam or water? I live and do hydronic heating in VT. That is a sizeable chunk of change—which we are not supposed to mention on this forum.

And- why are you selling them?

thechases · March 23

They are stream, but can do both.

pecmsg · March 23

Best bet is to put on Facebook marketplace.

Those are very respectable looking radiators. They appear to be in good shape. They would do a marvelous job of heating a home.—efficiently. Don't let them go to the scrap yard. They are a lot of work to move out, haul, test and bring in and then plumb, again. In order for these to work again, they require much labor and expertise that itself, is in an ever-diminishing supply.

It hurts hydronic fans a little to see these get removed from homes because it's often for the wrong reasons. We all wish we could save them. They are fantastic ways to heat a home efficiently. That little three tuber might be worth something to someone because it's easy to move and will fit nicely under a towel bar.

You are saying we can't state the asking price of a good for sale on the for sale forum? That would seem strange.

You can state the asking price of something for sale. You can also state the list price from a supply house of something. What you can't do is state how much a job would cost, for a whole host of reasons.
