You folks tired of me yet???
At the moment I am out of pocket $1400 for the labor
cost charged for replacement of a 10 yr old Burnham V73 with
a V83. Burnham provided the V83 as a 'warrantee' replacement,
but does not want the old unit back, ie the word of my
service tech was sufficient.
The original warrantee runs out in less than 2 weeks.
I am also in discussion with the FSOC and the Manufacturer.
This question regards an insurance claim only. I beleve I should expect
20 yrs for the boiler, and even though depreciation might be a factor,
I in fact have a valid loss to claim here.
Does anyone know of other cases of successful insurance claims???
Thanks !!

| HO Insurance only pays for damage done by the boiler not the boiler itself unless their was a defective part that caused it to go bad.

Hello, I also have a homeowner's claim in process presently. The inspection report just came back and it concludes that there is a pinhole within one of the fire tubes that resulted in the leak that prompted the claim. They did a destructive test and the report rules out any possibility of the leak being due to a crack. It goes on to say that this pinhole would either have been the result of corrosion due to the water chemistry or else a defect in manufacturer's welding. This is a steel Burnham boiler installed in 1987. Does one seem more likely than another out of the 2 causes identified? If it's a case of the water chemistry, is that something that might qualify as a claim under my oil service contract? (I have the system serviced annually as prescribed). Thanks for the expertise.

| Home owners insurance usually only pays for a boiler if something caused it to break like a faulty supply valve or a bad low water cuttoff. Is the boiler still under warrenty? How old is it?
