Thinking of buying from[maine wood boilers]

[ozzie88]

I had to send my first boiler back thanks to FedEx freight. It didn't look quite that bad though. For 2k in savings I would have lived with some dented sheet metal.

wow, few dents for sure, but i must say for the money i thinkm i would have kepted it? A small gasser would be best i know that now,just matter saveing up getting it done, Like i said one i have works good just nut ul listed people just give me hard time on it. this is 3rd year for it Is mostle home made only use 4 1/2 cord year at most 2 of us plus pets.Made it with safty in mind have all controls and over heats,some even doubled protected, guess just feel better if all was factery built ?? being disabled dont help any at all,I do what i can with help from guy that works on these things alot.
Thanks ALOT for the info

In my case it was shipped 'fob destination' which meant I didn't own the boiler until I signed for it off the truck. So any damage settlements before that point was between FedEx and cozyheat/new horizons. I bet in the case of that attack FedEx paid more than 2 k to new horizon.

I bet even that $2800 is negotiable.

I'd be on that if I was close & shopping - take a few panels off & smooth out some dents & you be styling.

I would stay away from new horizon.There are some rumors that there are things happening.Just a word for the wise.

 

[maple1]

Ummmm.



Quite a post for one dealer to make about another dealer.

Talk with Dave at Evergreen Energy in Naples. He retails the Empyre line from Pro Fab Industries. Open system, very easy to operate and forgiving on wood and moisture content.

I just don't want to see any one get hurt.

I heard from a guy down the street that vigas was going bankrupt. Something about a massive recall due to faulty lambda sensors and they can't cover the recall cost.

Better stay away from them.








Don't want to see anyone get hurt

That might be - but the optics are terrible.

We have one dealer bad mouthing another dealer on a public forum without really saying anything.

To me that reflects as poorly on yourself as whatever you might be implying with the Vague-Speak.

Just my neutral opinion.

It was a joke. But from the pm henfruit just sent me I don't think he thought it was funny.

Maybe i should just keep still and then in a coulple of months when the new owner of the product posts on here how unhappy he is with it.

 

[maple1]

Well alrighty then, just keep talking if you feel it's the thing to do.

 

[BoilerMan]

I have an Attack, and am certainly not unhappy with it, dented or not. After the learning curve, it's one of the best purchaces I've made.

I'm in the camp of "If it ain't broke don't fix it". Sounds like you got a good one.

Last year there were accusations made by henfruit that new horizons was committing fraud and the owner should be in jail in regards to the UL listing...

 

[woodsmaster]

Was thinking of the add on wood hot water with DHW, and I have about 300gal storage, I thought even without a gasser with storage it still be better run wide open heat water up then shut off twice a day betteer than idel,[small house anyways] without a bulkhead I dont know if i can get into basement?? Oil boiler now keep for backup,only 2year old tank also. I think there unit was 4500? what bothers me is there no fire brick in these,said it a dutch-oven type dont need any? steel seem thin 3/16 and 1/4 ??

steel over 1/4 inch will slow your heat transfer and cut down on efficiency. If your worried about the steel best bet is to make sure it's made from boiler plate and treat your water.

Woke up to another pm claiming he never said Zennon should be in jail. So here is the link.

My point is and was this is not the first time he has bad mouthed another dealer. And since he is one of the undercover dealers who doesn't always make clear that he is trying to sell his product I believe his motives should be pointed out.

I made the joke about vigas to illustrate how easy it is to post negatively about another product or company. Maybe henfruit is protecting us from another Larry b. Maybe he is just trying to sell more boilers. Either way stop pm'ing me henfruit. We can 'settle it' right here in the public.

Perhaps the joke was in bad taste, for that I apologize. I obviously made up the recall of lambda sensors.

 

[pen]

Enough with the drama already.
