I need to replace my 22 year old natural gas boiler — a Hydrotherm hydropulse 150k btu— in a 4500 sq ft. house. The house is a remodelled 1840s farm house in Wash DC. The heating system is hot water in cast iron radiators. About 12 rooms.
I picked the new Dunkirk Quantuum95M-200, a modulating condensing boiler. Also sold under the Utica brand as UB95M-200.
The contractor who may install it says I should exchange it. That Utica Boilers are the worst. Until now the specs and comments seemed to be positive.
Does anyone know about the brand’s quality in general and this model im particular? Good or Bad.
If you know of 2 different brands marketing this boiler, chances are neither of them actually manufactures it.
That being the case, it doesn’t really matter if Utica is a good brand or not. (The truth is they don’t have a great reputation among the industry)
I’d advise you to find out who really manufactures the unit, find out who warrantees it and take it from there.
