Peerless Steam Boiler Upgrade Project In Merrick, Long Island, New York

boiler installation merrick nyWhen these homeowners noticed that something was amiss with their home heating, they knew they couldn’t get through the cold winter in Merrick, NY without a working boiler.

Although their boiler was older, they’d maintained it well and never had major problems before. However, when they realized there was a leak and a foul odor coming from the boiler, they knew they needed the expert assistance of trained technicians from Hart Home Comfort.

Not only were the technicians able to identify the problem immediately, but they quickly came up with a solution to replace the damaged unit so that the Beyers family wouldn’t suffer an extended period without heating in their home.

The technicians recommended a Peerless Model ECT-3C Cast Iron Steam Boiler with a 10-year warranty on the heat exchanger to provide optimal heating and a long lifespan for the Beyers’s multi-story home.


PROBLEM: The Beyers family began to notice waning performance from their old steam boiler, and when they inspected, they discovered an unpleasant odor lingering around their boiler, as well as water on the floor around it. With a tough winter already in progress, they knew they needed to address the issue immediately to ensure adequate heating for their multi-story home in Merrick, NY. That’s when they contacted the seasoned professionals at Hart Home Comfort for assistance.

SOLUTION: When Hart Home Comfort technicians Brian V. and Charlie L. arrived at the Beyers house to inspect the boiler, they immediately discovered a cracked heat exchanger. Not only was the boiler outdated, but the damage was beyond repair. They recommended removing the old boiler and replacing it with a brand-new Peerless Cast Iron Steam Boiler, and the Beyers family agreed.

These advanced boiler systems provide optimal heating to ensure a comfortable home interior and deliver energy savings that help to offset the cost of purchasing a brand-new unit when an older model expires.

  • A new John Wood Hot Water Heater Model JW5-50SB Aquabooster, with 50-gallon capacity and a 5-year manufacturer warranty on the tank
  • A new Peerless tankless coil to cover all domestic hot water needs

  • Option to purchase 5- or 10-year extended warranties for the entire boiler, including parts and labor
  • Easy access for cleaning and inspection with full plate swing out door
  • Designed for natural draft venting through a chimney
  • Standard equipment that includes Honeywell controls, a Taco 007 circulator pump, a barometric damper, a drain valve, and more – all intended to ensure optimal performance and more

The Beyers family was lucky that they caught the problem with their old boiler early. Although the damage was already severe enough to warrant installing a new Peerless Steam Boiler, the family was lucky to get away without more significant harm.

Dealing With A Cracked Heat Exchanger In Merrick

CO leak and furnace repairWhen a heat exchanger is cracked or damaged, it can affect more than just home heating performance. The noxious fumes the Beyers family smelled when they inspected their boiler contained dangerous chemicals that could be hazardous to the health of humans and pets in a home. They did the right thing by calling the experts at Hart Home Comfort for immediate assistance.

Over time, a cracked or damaged heat exchanger could leak harmful carbon monoxide gas into the home, causing headaches and other ailments, and even death. This is why it’s so important to keep a carbon monoxide detector in the home, so you can be alerted to the presence of this toxic gas.

With their new Peerless Steam Boiler in place, the Beyers family can rest easy, knowing that their home is safe and will remain cozy all winter long, year after year.

The technicians at Hart Home Comfort are ready and waiting to diagnose and correct any problems you may have with your home heating system, and we’re proud to partner with Peerless to offer homeowners access to some of the best modern boiler systems on the market today.

Review of Hart Home Comfort

Martin was very professional, he stepped through a few diagnostic steps to isolate issue of a clogged nozzle. What I found irritating was the service repair number was not available to me once I did not have the correct phone number and it was not listed on the fuel ordering website. Fortunately my heat was not a issue just hot water I left a couple of messages on phone but was instructed that the phone call would be returned on the next business day, since this occurred over the weekend I was left out of luck. My suggestion is to make the main number available on all contact points.

Review of Hart Home Comfort

Donald came to replace a broken thermostat. He checked the boiler and proceeded to replace the thermostat. He had difficulty getting it to work properly and had to call for assistance. He was so apologetic and felt terrible that he could not get it to work. Eventually they realized it was the wrong part. Again Donald felt so bad that he didn't have the right thermostat and I would have to wait for another repairman to come. He did his utmost to remedy my problem and I greatly appreciated his efforts. He was professional, efficient and very nice. With a team effort, the thermostat was replaced by John and I was nice and warm again.

Review of Hart Home Comfort

John and Donald came to replace a broken thermostat. Donald arrived first and worked feverishly to help me quickly, professionally and efficiently. He unfortunately did not have the right part and John came later with the correct thermostat. John checked to make sure everything with the boiler was working correctly and then replaced the broken item. John was also proficient, profesional, pleasant and very capable. He replaced it and checked to see that it was working properly before he left. They were both excellent.

Review of Hart Home Comfort

I called past midnight with my problem and Frank called me within 10 minutes. He was wonderful. He tried to fix the problem that evening but I needed a repairman visit. The next day I received a call at 7:30 am to notify me that a repairman would be at my home within an hour. It was by the repairman himself. He was courteous, knowledgeable, proficient and explained everything he did thoroughly. I am very pleased with the service .

Review of Hart Home Comfort

Don't send this last guy back to me. It was a hot day & he was uncomfortable working in my hot basement. Because you use bio-heat the furnace does not get dirty so while I watched him it was not necessary to vacuum the inside of the boiler. He never did the chimney or the pipe leading up to it. He did not use the meter to check the efficiency at the stack. He did wash the low water cut off glass but I did not see him use a wire to make sure that the float would not hang up due to rust nor dump water out of the bottom of furnace to get rid of built up rust. I am not sure He changed the nozzle or just cleaned the old one.& I am not sure he changed the tank filter. I did not have any odor of oil after he left. I was in & out of the basement so I was not with him all the time. I just hope that there are no problems this winter while I am away & need to call you for emergency repair. Usually you are excellent in your work which is why I have stayed with you all these years but not this time.
