Thats Chris and Lou installed. Steve and Darrel came down and helped install the all fuel chimney.

I wanted to do all Buderus panels but the we would have had to open all the cielings in the first floor. I was able to slip a couple in :). The bath and back hall.

If you look close in the photos you can see the water so I upped the infiltration numbers and Chris added a little antifreeze to the water.

Nicest part of this whole job ? The comments I got from the husband. " Nice job , the other guys did'nt evon call me back. You got a smart crew, they knew what they where doing. Tell Chris thank you for me ".

Thanks Chris

Scott

    Nice little job

    Here are some photos of a nice job that Chris and Lou did in Gloucester.

    This was a summer house that had a couple of electric wall heaters that they used during the fall and spring. A couple of contractors told them they could'nt do it, and a couple never called back. Not Us !

    Heres the house when we started.

    very nice job

    I like the color of the circ panel. Buderus blue. Nice simple lines very symetrical and plumb. Sounds like the customers appreciate it too. WW

  • Excellent craftsmanship , as usual

    I like how the near boiler piping is black steel - makes it sturdy and clean looking . Getting your moneys worth of the Propress I see . I like the look of the wiring being mostly conduit . Is that a local code or a preference ? And what are they using to mkae hot water ? Great job Chris and everyone else under Milne's wings .

    I am sure Chris

    will jump in here, but the plug is his idea. It was something he had talked about and when I saw it I realized he had told the electrician to do it. I think its a great idea.

    Thanks as allways for the nice words.

    air scoop

    Do you always use air scoops instead of a spirovent? Dont you need an 18" nipple when you use an air scoop

    Riello has changed the blast tube lengths over the last couple of years. The current specification is for longer blast tube because of the 6" insert depth.

    Nice job! I too, like the wall switch for the service technician. It nice to see that you guys think of the next person who might have to work on the system!

    Is that Ben from Capco delivering the equipment?

    It was great to meet you at the ISH show.

    Jimmy,

    That is an American (brand name) air scoop. While reading the instructions,(IMAGINE THAT?)their liturature stated to place it as it is piped. No mention of the 18" distance.As a matter of fact,I brought the instruction sheet back so Scott could read it for himself, and highlighted the instructions so he wouldn't miss them. More than knee pads indeed!

    A note to Joe from Buderus. Notice the nipple and coupling mounted above the outlet, with the gauge/relief valve tee screwed into it?I do this on most installs so that I can see the gauge as I'm working on the burner. If the extension isn't installed, it is lost behind the L8148. I know, "just turn it to the side!" Sorry Joe, I really like to see my gauge so I know if the pressure is acceptable for purging, and if I'm testing/adjusting the burner, that it isn't about to go off on high limit and ruin my readings.Maybe the company can make them 3-4" longer and help out a bit?

    As to the outlet mounted by the service switch, in Ma., the service switch "within reach of the burner technician" is the law. Ater being in so many basements with little or no outlets in the boiler room, I decided that there should be one installed , when necessary. In that particular room, there was 1 double outlet. I also asked the electrician to wire into the circut BEFORE the thermal switch, so it remains live if it is pulled for service. There is a note attached to the panel that says the breaker must be switched off to kill all power to the box.(CYA!)

    Thanks to all for the comments. Scott and I both appreciate them. Ron, as to the tubing being used....it is electrical code in Ma. We can run more flex than an electrician can, but I'm with you. It looks way more professional to run the EMT and switch to flex at a reasonable distance to the unit serviced. (I also love the look on an electricians face when I tell them I was the one that did the bending, definately an art!)

    Thanks again. Chris
