Hello. I am looking for suggestions for a competent and honest plumber to help with a boiler problem. My apt has a Laars Endurance Modulating Residential Boiler. It also provides all of the hot water for the apartment. The hot water works, but the water isn’t moving into the baseboard pipes (it has for the past two years).
The last owner told me that Vigilante had installed it so I called them. They hadn’t installed it and the plumber had no experience with the machine. Apparently it is pretty obsolete. I paid $74. They will send out another plumber with experience for no cost and if I go with them to repair it, they will put the $74 towards that.
How much should a fix cost? Any experience with Laars boilers and plumbers who know them?
thanks!

Please don’t take this as a plug for my company. I’ve had mixed results dealing with Laars and would just as soon not have to deal with another one of their Endurance line products.
If the boiler is making hot water and not heat, there are three basic causes:
1. An air bound heat exchanger. (That stainless steel barrel-looking-thing has a little bleeder valve at about 2 o’clock if you were looking at it from a bird’s eye view.
2. A malfunctioning circuit board for which they are famous and have eliminated from the newly designed units.
3. A malfunctioning anti-condensing valve. This is not likely because they tend to fail to the makes-heat-all-the-time position.
Aside from the boiler, you may have something wrong with your thermostat or system piping. Plumbers are intimidated by your boiler because it has to be a very sophisticated piece of equipment to do such an incredible job. Troubleshooting it is a pain in the neck. Good luck.
