**Urgent life saving message. Read !! New boiler i am installing in this home in Georgia Vt. These poor folks went to sell their home and got an inspection from Vt Gas and it was red tagged. High co levels. Which means the boilers heat exchanger cracked. And when I came to these folks home. The lady said to me “. The boiler worked fine all winter”. So here is the thing. Just because a boiler is running and working does not mean you are entirely safe.
Reason being is because boilers (some of them) will run forever. And so if your boiler is ten years or older. To keep your family safe, please get an inspection once a year if it’s ten years or older. If it is a newer one. Every two years is ok. When we test the boiler we have an analyzer that can let us know something you can not possibly know. We stick the analyzer in the exhaust and if it is over a certain number, this means the boilers heat exchanger has cracked. The scary part of this. The boiler will still run. And it will fill your home with co and this has sadly killed many people.
During a inspection we can check the carbon monoxide (co) level. And we can check other things on your boiler to make sure it’s running correctly. If you can not afford to get an inspection done and you have an old boiler. Pm me and i am happy to Check for you. Or if you would like to schedule one. We charge $250 flat rate to check and tag your boiler. $200 got senior citizens. 65 and older. Discount also applies for military and first responders.
Please share this post if you would like to save some lives. To avoid the same thing that happened to this customer which was a close call.
Also, another thing you should do is purchase a carbon monoxide detector and stick it down in the boiler room directly above the boiler.
Stay safe.
