They might look like the same 60 year old boilers on the outside, BUT inside they are brand new! This fall we finished completely replacing all of the tubes in Boiler #2. (Boiler #1 was done last year.)
For those of you that don't know. Boilers are filled with long metal tubes about 3" in diameter. Over time these tubes deteriorate and begin to leak. It is not uncommon to have one or two develop leaks and need replacement. We were finding seven to ten tubes leaking, so we made the choice to re-tube the entire boiler.
The is a 20+ year repair! With proper chemical balance in the boiler water and other routine maintenance, these boilers are ready to run for a long time to come!
