"Purefire P-210"
Installed this costly unit two years ago - after 2 years the blower failed - new blower part cost $560.00 plus labor, lasted all of two weeks and broke down. Wonder how long the new part will last. Old furnaces lasted 25 years without problems. buyer beware. Do not listen to people who have this less than two years. Did not realize such unreliable product could be sold in the US.

"I HATE this thing"
Installed at the recommendation of hvac guy 6 years ago. It has gotten progressively worse every season - nothing but f09 error codes (flame sensor). The cover was taken off so many times in the first few years the screws are stripped. Every service call resulted in the same... hit the reset.. clean the sensor.. nothing ever goes wrong with these - right. This year the error codes were up to once a week then once a day.. You cannot reach the company other than by email - no response. Our hvac people (who suggested replacing all the sensors - done, then figured it's the control panel) got us the number for Quality Sales who is a company rep. They came out (almost a two hour drive each way, won't that be a nice bill). He said it just needed cleaning inside so he took it apart and also found a broken ceramic collar that was broken. Cleaned it, replace the collar and all was well for about 8 whole days!!! No f09 - until last night. I is now flashing about every 2 hours. I never thought I would sign up for something just so I could say something but very interesting to see so many posts with the same problem - guess there's a reason Peerless won't publish their phone number.

"DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!"
We put this furance in our house in 2006 since then we have had our plumbing/heating man at our house at least once a year. Gone without heat for a week in the middle of winter in NE Pennsylvania waiting for parts from manufactor. Blah! Always need to pull parts out and shop vac debris, the flap that stops things from going in fell apart and went through the fan and broke the fan a $700 part plus labor, replaced sensors, and this year a new power panel that runs it. And a high electric bill for running space heaters. Loved spending my day today going into the basement for over 3 hrs just to get the damn thing to light. Finally after hitting the re-fire button over 30 times I have heat now that the house is in the 50's in January. Don't buy this peerless boiler!!!! It was rated high eff. yeah maybe if it worked so now it will be one for hours just to get the temp back up. This is the last winter it will be in our home. In total we have spent over $1,500 in repair bills

"F09 and no heat! JUNK"
Over the past 3 winters when it gets cold (under 30 degrees) my boiler shuts down with a f09 error. Am I the only one getting up 4-7 times a night to reset the boiler? If you have had this issue and fixed it can you share the resolution? This really sucks, we spent a lot of money on this boiler and it's Junk! I had to replace the blower/fan 2 years ago and that was a $600 bill!

"Junk"
I installed the unit 9 years ago, first 2 years the unit was fine. Every year after that I have replace flame sensor! Either that or cleaned it with a emery clothe. Unfortunately there is no customer support. I spoke with a support technician and was told if I was not licensed they would not talk to me. Bad product and worse customer service. Sooner or later I will have to junk the unit and go with a Weil which I probably should have done in the beginning. Junk don't buy it.

"High Efficiency Boilers"
I am a heating contractor and I can tell you most problems with stainless steel modulating condensing boilers are that they are not installed properly. I have seen several installations with the piping done without a low loss header or primary secondary piping done and the wrong circulating pumps. These boilers work fine and are trouble free when they are properly installed.

"Flame detection faults"
The flame detector circuit is horrible. During the summer the flame detector will last 3 to 4 months, in the winter when you really need the unit, I have to replace the flame detector about every month. It is not only costly but very irritating to get into a cold shower. Does any one know a fix?

"CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT"
I have spent at least $2500 in repairs which is more $$ than I would have in extra gas if I had kept the old cast iron boiler it replaced during a remodeling six years ago. I have spent two winters with electric space heaters, in addition to pushing heat down from the forced- air attic unit that was only intended as supplemental heat for the second story addition. My kids and I have also become common visitors at the park district locker rooms where we shower for the past two years. We also have bathe “pioneer” style; boiling water on the stove… The Peerless representative came in and said that my floors had a leak, so I spent months trying to find someone who can detect the underground leak, and getting quotes to for a new furnace or baseboard heat. (Not to mention mentally preparing to tear my home apart). After spending another $500, I found there is no leak, and the problem is just the boiler. The boiler is trashed, and the Peerless Representative tells me the new boilers are far better. Is he kidding? Fool me once… I am now looking into a Triangle Tube vertical boiler, where the design helps the scale to be washed out by the condensate. Still researching.

"Pinnacle P140"
Traded a low efficiency low maintenance unit for this high efficiency high maintenance piece of junk. Peerless support is non existent. Finally purchased a $700 gas flue analyzer test equipment to set co/co2. During heat season flame sensor needs to cleaned at least twice. Combustion chamber needs to be cleaned at least twice a year, always lots of small nugget kernels of black residue. I'm told this is normal for LP. Most recent replacement was water pressure sensor. Kept sticking on low side shutting down boiler.

"Residential Boiler"
I have had nothing but trouble with this unit since we had it installed in our new house eight years ago. We use it for supplementary floor heat and domestic hot water. Every year around the beginning of heating season we have to have a repair technician out to repair anything from leaking seals, to malfunctioning thermistors, wire harnesses, and most recently, a new leak. I would not recommend this product to anyone. I am now researching replacement options for this system.
