"journeyman plumber"
I have installed Burnham boilers for 39 years and have only had (1)that had a problem. I average 15 boilers a season. That means I have over 550 boilers out there with my name on them. No problems. Burnham is a top of the line product in my book and I never hesitate to offer Burnham to my customers.

"Another PV7 Boiler leaking everywhere!!!!"
Just had my pv7 Burnham Boiler replaced. I put it in new in 1997. It was leaking a little, and during the night let loose. My finished basement including drywall is soaked. There is not way Burnham does not know they sold a defective product. This is half the life a boiler should last and Burnham should be ashamed of themselves. If anyone knows of a class action suit, sign me up! I would never buyer Burnham again.

"BURNHAM"
Love my "made in U.S.A." burnham BOILER!!!(10yrs old)and I live near dunkirk. Have been in the heating bussiness since age 10 with my dad(im 38).Went on to do comm and indust work on much larger boilers.Have seen may installations.90% of residential/light commercial installations are incorrectly installed.(they work- but not properly) Sounds like the failures on this site are mostly oil fired.I Now own my own buss. and service/install only gas boilers-NO problems!!!

Total unsatisfield with the boiler. It makes Loud Noise when it start. Feels like expolosin in the house. The company that installed is Petro. They charged like 5000 dollars and it is totally useless unit. Several problems so far.

"Burnham Boiler Core"
After only 10 years and after yearly service the core of the PV713WT boiler has cracked. We are told that this model is not covered under the special warantee. The furnace is in my 87 year old mother's house, and we need to get it fixed as the summer is definitely over. Very disappointed, as we hear there have been a lot of complaints and problems with this particular type.

"3rd Burnham Boiler goes in 10 years"
We have now gone through our 3rd Burnham Boiler as of this week and will not be in our new home 10 years until Dec. Each time we have noticed a large puddle appear almost over night. Even with a hose on the pipe, the drain cannot take the amount of water flowing. Will be calling Burnham on Monday and filing small claims against the company. I can see one failed system because of a flaw, but two was rediculous and three is getting to us.

"homeowner"
I purchased Oil Fired mpo147 87%, had a Tekmar 260 installed with it. I Had a V84(3yrs) before and was happy with it, but I'm ecstatic with the mpo I've saved 30% on my Oil Bill. I went from 1,000-1,100 Gallons to 750 gallons the first year and 800 gallons this year(it was colder this year). Yes Burnham has had some problems but I'm being told that their failure rate is now 4 bad out of a Million.

"Terrible product, terrible company"
Suprise, suprise. Same exact leaking problem with my v7 as everyone else. No warranty coverage, not the original owner. a good company would have recalled a shoddy product with major, wide-spread manufacturing defects. Burnham should be standing behind their brand-name, and products, not hiding behind their warranty. You would think that they would get the picture after all the oil providers stopped selling their product, and after seeing all the unhappy, former Burnham customers calling, emailing and posting on this website. I also will never buy another Burnahm product.

"Company does not stand behind its produce"
Don't worry about being shafted as the second owner. First owners get shafted as well. Replaced old furnace with a Burnham 11 years ago. Recently it started leaking all over my family room floor (furnace installed right next to fr) When the fuel oil company came to check on it (same company that installed it and maintains it every year) discovered it had a crack in it. Piece would need to be replaced. After conversations with friends in the business, I learned that Burnham has problems with boilers manufactured in 1996-97 and all of them leak sometime or the other. Why didn't they do a recall when this was discovered? Why wait until customers have problems and then say oops - your problem? Personally, I am reporting Burnham to the bbb and Consumer's Report. Sloppy business from a company purporting to be professional.
