Weil-Mclain Oil Boiler Installation Project In Winchester, Massachusetts

Nothing is worse than having your heating system work improperly on a chilly winter day. Mr. Borner had an old oil boiler in his Winchester MA home that required multiple service calls. The system did not seem like it was producing enough heat because the first floor was slow to warm up, and the second floor seemed like it was not receiving much heat.

Problem: Townsend Energy sent Kevin Anderson to inspect the current boiler and system components and determine if it was large enough to handle the Borner’s heating needs. After inspection of the old boiler system, Kevin determined that the old system was not adequate to heat the home and needed to be replaced.

Solution: Kevin recommended removing the old boiler and upgrading to an energy-efficient Weil Mclain boiler with a Riello oil burner. This heating system installation in Winchester, MA also included a new water expansion tank as well as a new Honeywell WIFI thermostat.

This oil boiler installation included:

• Weil-Mclain WGO-5rd Forced Hot Water Boiler, 87% AFUE
• Riello oil burner
• Clean out chimney Base
• Aqua smart boiler control
• Watts 1156 water feeder & backflow preventer
• Four new Grundfos circulators with internal flow check valves that connect to the existing indirect hot water heater
• All new flue pipe from boiler to chimney.

• Extrol expansion & air separator
• The oil line will be upgraded to meet existing codes using a tiger loop system
• New supply and return headers, piped in black iron
• Miscellaneous fittings
• Removal and disposal of existing boiler and related materials
• The new Weil Mclain boiler has a manufacturer’s 20-year limited warranty to the original purchaser

Townsend Energy provided the equipment that was needed for this boiler replacement in Winchester, MA. This installation project included a new Weil-Mclain hot water boiler, oil burner, venting, oil line, and a new Honeywell WIFI thermostat. As is customary in our heating system replacements, we removed the old boiler and disposed of it.

Top Seven Signs For A Hot Water Boiler Replacement In Winchester, MA

In order to avoid an emergency no-heat situation in your house, it is a good idea to plan your boiler replacement ahead of time. A boiler that is on its last leg will display signs that indicate the need for a boiler upgrade. Below, we list some of the most common signs:

1. Boiler Age. It is important to note that a boiler that receives annual boiler maintenance will outlast one that does not. The average life expectancy of a cast-iron boiler is around 30 years. However, as a boiler ages, it will lose some of its efficiency and you will notice an increase in operational costs and HVAC repairs.
2. Burn marks and soot. Be sure to inspect your boiler regularly. Also, call Townsend Energy for an annual boiler tune-up and inspection. If you notice that your boiler has burn marks on the metal on the front of the boiler or soot under the burners, then give us a call right away.
3. Deposits and rust. When you notice that your boiler has calcium deposits and rust, then it may be time for a boiler replacement. Some cast-iron boilers will display calcium deposits on the pumps or pipe joints. Also, they will display rust on the metal venting. These signs may indicate the time for a heating system upgrade.
4. Boiler breakdowns are occurring more often. The older the boiler gets, the more frequently it will require repairs as one part replacement leads to another. If you notice that you are calling an HVAC contractor a couple of times a year, then it is time to replace your unit. You are spending too much on boiler repairs instead of investing your money on a new, energy-efficient system.
5. Discomfort: If your radiators are not heating or are producing limited heat, then it may be time for a new boiler installation. You will also notice that your home has hot and cold spots.
6. The boiler makes strange noises. If an older boiler’s piping bangs, pops, rattles, squeals when it is running, it could be time for a replacement.
7. The system needs more water often. A hot water boiler should not need to have water added more than once per season to maintain the boiler pressure. If you notice that you have to add water, you may have a boiler leak on your hands.
