Gas Boiler Installation in Haddonfield, NJ

Our client had a 35-year old Weil-McLain gas boiler that was still working but was starting to make weird noises. NOTE - Weird noises with heating and air conditioning equipment are never because something is good is going on.

The old boiler used the draft from the chimney to draw the flue gases up and out of the house. But the chimney had begun deteriorating on the inside and chimney debris had fallen into the furnace heat exchanger and created the noise as the flue gas moved around the debris. This would eventually have caused carbon monoxide to enter the basement, so maybe the noise was a good thing after all.

She decided to replace the boiler with an 84% efficient Weil-McLain CGi boiler that would cut her heating bills by over 20%. It has a draft fan that pulls the flue gas out of the boiler and blows it into the chimney. If debris ever blocks the flue, the CGi will sense the blockage and turn the boiler off so there is no danger of carbon monoxide poisoning. We also installed a Z-Flex chimney liner to prevent any chimney debris from entering the flue. Debris will fall around the liner but not into it.

This old house is now safe and much more efficient.
