Some people say how it looks does not matter. Nothing could be further from the truth. For gods sake it's in the name of our trade Plumb. I have seen so many hacks who just slap pipes in any old way, bend pipe, or just odd angles. Yes it may work but I have been referred to customers who have seen the installation and liked what they saw. Just like the uniforms you wear how to leave the finished job matters and shows the customer you care about what you are doing for them and that adds to the value of what the customer is paying for. I have received messages from customers who had their oil companies who maintain the boilers threw their oil contracts ask who did the installation and to tell them to tell me nice job. I have had electricians Say I need to get more material or do things differently because they do not want to make the wiring look sloppy. Make the Trades Great again and keep up the good work Mike and Daniel.

Basic simple boiler install looks good 👍🏻 only thing I’m going to nitpick is that there is no magnetic filter on the return. Using those ECM pumps is a great way to save money for the homeowner but protect your installs, ferrous metals from the block of the boiler will over time get pulled into those pumps and kill them, magna clean is the product you’d be looking for. Or just stick with standard pumps.

Mike, can you explain your reasoning for putting ISO flanges with purges if you put iso valves with purges on the return anyway? Do you purge from the return or from the feed? Just curious cause I saw another one of your installs set up the same way. If you purge from where the pumps are does it purge the boiler just as good as if you were purging from the return side? I guess in theory it doesn’t matter where you purge from I guess the air will work its way out right?

It's an oil boiler that was converted to gas (with a burner conversion kit) and Mike doesn't do retrofit (most manufacturers don't like it )... I've seen a ton in a lifetime, they're a cheap way to convert to gas... Today's prices $2500 for burner vs 12-14,000 new boiler... It's all it what you can afford ...

If you told her that isn’t a gas fired boiler, you sir are a hack. That is an oil boiler with a conversion burner that runs NG all day every day and absolutely is compatible. The manufacture of the cast boiler lists the oil burners it’s compatible with but conversion burners that meet the same specs as the oil burner is still comparable. There is nothing wrong with what she had and you charged her how much to gain her 2% in efficiency?
