Mark Hunnibell says: „What I hoped was a simple job of replacing a failed water recirculating pump on our decades-old oil-fired hot water boiler turned into a full-scale renovation and upgrade.

We went with a recommended propane boiler which cost probably twice what the repair would have been, but it still would have been an dirty old oil furnace. Chad and Stan (with help from a few others) did most of the heavy lifting to install the new boiler and overhaul the previous rats nest of zone pipes that looked like they were installed by Rube Goldberg! Chad organized the five zones into nice pipes and valves - all at right angles - and Stan installed the 85 feet of new propane line needed to reach the boiler. I think it will be all working tomorrow... just in time for summer. ;-)
NOTE: The process, particularly considering the need for building permits and coordination between county officials, propane suppliers, and HVAC and plumbing (gas) lines, was rather overwhelming. I think it would be an excellent idea for Stevenson to provide customers with a complete outline or checklist of what would be done, who would be doing it, what prerequisites were needed, etc., especially if two-three different companies or agencies needed to be there at the same time. That would have helped keep this moving since I think we lost a few days because I thought something had been done by one party (when it had not) and we were waiting for another party. Even without a "checklist," I strongly recommend that homeowners request detail of the process and actively manage it... Trust but verify! (check if permit was pulled as stated, etc....“ Show more
