If because of age, inefficiency or lack of capacity your current boiler needs to be replaced, we can advise you on the latest developments in boilers and tankless water heaters.

Unfortunately, boilers do not last for ever. The useful working life is reckoned to be 15 years and older ones lose efficiency and become prone to breakdown, usually during those cold spells when you depend on your system to keep the house comfortable. That's the bad news: the good news is that modern boilers are so much more efficient, quicker to warm up, quieter in operation and cheaper to run. Your investment will quickly pay for itself.

Accepta’s advanced boiler water treatment chemicals include scale and corrosion inhibitors, antifoams, sludge conditioners and more, used for improving the efficiency of steam and other boiler systems. See similar questions...

There is an air block, so you should let the air out as the water goes in by lifting the syringe slightly out of the tank when filling with water. See similar questions...

To make a double boiler or hot water bath to melt ingredients, fill a large saucepan 1/4 full with water and bring it to a full boil. Lower the temperature so that the water is boiling but not fully. Measure the ingredients to be melted into a heat proof measuring cup (such as one made by Pyrex or Corning) and place the cup into the boiling water. The heat from the boiling water will gently melt the ingredients in the measuring cup. Follow the recipe as usual. See similar questions...

a fluctuation in the water line of a steam boiler is referred to as Surging. A small amount of fluctuation is not uncommon, but if severe enough can cause a number of undesirable conditions, i.e. water hammer, inefficient operation, etc. Severe surging is recognized by a water line that is fluctuating more than one-inch or when water is visibly running down from the top of the sight glass. Surging is caused by a violent boiling action as a result of oil on the water surface. See similar questions...

The boiler will normally maintain 160-180 degrees. If plumbing into an in floor system, you will use a mixing valve to bring the water temperature down to the recommended level. See similar questions...

Of course you can. In Israel you usually have a choice of either replacing the existing water boiler switch with one that incorporates a timer, or installing a timer in the electrical panel to control the boiler line. A reliable electrician can tell you which would be best in your case. See similar questions...

In many cases, the boiler is located at the lowest point in the system, which means that there is little likelihood that the boiler will run dry. If radiators are installed at an elevation below the top of the boiler, a low water cut off is necessary. Examples include baseboard radiators near the basement floor, and basement in-floor radiant heating. There are some states, New York and New Jersey for example, and some local jurisdictions that mandate their use regardless of radiator location. See similar questions...

Although many components of water heaters are designed to be replaceable, the unit itself must be replaced if there is a leak, corrosion, a major malfunction, or if the unit itself is more than eight years old. A water heater corrodes a lot faster than other plumbing parts due to the fact that it is constantly kept at high temperatures, so it is best to check it every few months for any damage.

In many cases an existing domestic water heater will do the job. If the BTU rating of the heater is matched with the BTU requirements of the space to be heated, one properly sized unit can provide both space heating and domestic hot water. A boiler is normally not necessary unless the heating requirements exceed 300,000 BTU's. In these cases, a simple mixing valve is designed into the boiler system to provide lower temperature water to the radiant floor. See similar questions...

Deionised water will readily take on new ions from metal with which it comes into contact - Copper, Zinc and Silver seem to be particularly susceptible. Investigations have shown that the Silver soldered joints in boilers can weaken and eventually fail, with potentially disastrous results. See similar questions...

A combination or combi boiler is designed to heat your water 'on demand' - when you turn the hot tap on, the boiler fires up and heats the water as it passes through. A conventional or storage system heats fires up for a given period every day and heats the water in a copper storage tank. This makes for a quick fill of the bath, but the downside is that the supply is finite and that no matter how well the tank is lagged, it will lose some heat. See similar questions...

Most combination boilers (combi) are designed to take in cold, not preheated water and are thus not compatible with a solar water heating system. There are a few combi's on the market that will accept pre-heated water and you should check with the manufacturer whether this is the case if you have a combi, or are installing a new one and wish to have solar as well.

The maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) on water for this unit would be 30 P.S.I.G., provided the unit was dual stamped. Yes! However you must consult the Factory or your Bryan Manufacturer Representative for the appropriate price addition. See similar questions...

No. NYPIRG membership consists of a tax-deductible contribution of $30 or more. Fuel Buyers Group is a NYPIRG program that NYPIRG members can participate in. See similar questions...

All local, state and federal codes must be met by the installer. Those codes vary from location and state and application. In most cases a boiler with a capacity above 200,000 BTU per hour must be installed by a contractor with the appropriate licenses and insurance. In many states however, those codes do not apply if the usage is to provide heating for growing or raising livestock or poultry or for greenhouse heating applications. See similar questions...
