Weil-Mclain Ultra Boiler? Any Good?
Go to the Wall. http://forums.invision.net/index.cfm?CFApp=2 Use the
search function and put in 'Ultra'. A lot of people seem to like the Ultra. When we took the tour, they were saying 15-20 years is the expected life of the HX. "MGallo3199" wrote in message ... I have been looking to replace my 40yr old boiler. I like the looks of the Ultra boiler but I don't know if I trust the cast aluminum heat exchanger. A good cast iron boiler you can get 40 to 50 years life out it but how long will cast aluminum last? A good cast iron boiler you can get 85% efficiency and the Ultra is like 93%. If the aluminum heat exchanger will only last 20yr then the added 8% efficiency isn't worth it. Mark |
