What is your cost per therm according to your statement?

That's why we always say the installer is more important than the boiler (except for the Burnham independence line). Near boiler piping is a critical aspect of the install and is stressed over and over again by the gentlemen on this site. You mess up the near boiler piping and you will pay the price for it.

A good simple indicator is how often the boiler cycles on and off. With excessive and short on off cycles, boiler efficiencies go down, fuel usage goes up.

It sounds like gears are in motion, that's the good news.

Stop the check or cancel the credit card transaction, this works to piss people off as it sets them back.

They did not bother to set the steamer on concrete blocks either so that is one more issue with this poor installation.

You feel trying to piss people off that are in the process of trying to fix their mistake and make things right is a good idea?

I think that's terrible advice.

Blocks are optional and would greatly depend on the situation. I didn't put mine under blocks either.

It is on a raised slab.

Sorry, I missed that 😔

If they did it not follow the boiler builder's instructions for the correct installation I would be pissed off so no worries there. How are they supposed to skim the boiler with that installation? Using the drawing 7.2 that Ed provided it would have made more sense to turn the boiler 90 degrees clockwise to expose it enough to have a skim port.

As far as the boiler mount/placement, I missed the raised slab which is why I commented as the concrete color between the floor slab and the raised slab were identical so that is on me.

Maybe just one or two people sending a message will be sufficient? It sure seems that just one might have started the ball rolling.

If I were a fan of internet shaming, I'd be more active on some of those other web forums, not HH.

I'm pretty sure that, while I would definitely think about the first msg or two I received about my work being substandard, I would quickly get pissed or worse if they kept coming.

How we deal with it separate use from them.

Also, quick update.. Here is the back of the boiler. I only showed the front previously. Looks like I'm missing the connection on the left according to the pic below

Agreed. I've deleted the post regarding shaming this company as a group. This is not what Heating Help is here for. Thank you.

That is a horrible instal and it’s a shame you paid good money and didn’t get a quality job. I’m a plumber in NYC and can’t say I’ve ever heard of That company. What area of Long Island are you in?
