Anyone have any comments (good or bad) or have used any Camus boilers? the rep here is pushing them and I here their prices are good. Made in Canada but you get what you pay for. We have a few jobs quoted with them.
Any comments appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

Last one I saw was basically a Gianonni formatted appliance with a Honeywell controller and the usual group of suspects connected to modcon operations (EBM Pabst blowers and Dungs or Honeywell neg reg gas valves). Came in a nice stainless steel box though. I didn't purchase it but was only trying to get the appliance to fire correctly. Their support was OK, but I determined that they didn't know as much about their product as I did. Found that the problem was their flexible combustion air inlet hose was restricting air flow to the neg reg gas valve, causing it to flood the boiler with fuel (LP ) and causing lockouts due to failed ignition attempts. Would lite off OK, but as RPM's ramped up, would choke out and die. Poked a hole as relief in their flexible hose and all problems went away.
That was about 5 years ago, and I assume like everyone else, they've moved on from the Gianonni to the fire tube HXer that everyone and their brothers using these days.
