My home is just now 17 years old, along with the boiler/hydronic heat system. I am the second owner, now 5 years, and suffered our first heat failure. Our classic WH-7P unit finally pooped out. Guess what? No local dealers... But the good is, being slightly mechanically inclined, was able to drain and disassemble the entire unit. It really, REALLY needed maintenance. PEOPLE-READ THE OWNERS' MANUALS! You're giving a good product a bad rap-these systems need maintained! I pressure washed the inside of the tank, soaked and cleaned the heat exchanger, replaced the thermostat and heat exchanger gasket, and the unit is BRAND NEW-for $75! I am a fan, due to the fact that I was able to have the parts shipped overnight, and not suffer an expensive plumbing call.
