Word of Mouth
Comments about Weil McLain gas boilers on HVAC-Talk message boards and heating contractor sites are generally positive:
- In one hvac-talk.com forum, one service tech says that the circulator problem on one Weil McLain furnace is due to a bad motor. Heat is strong in every location except one. This heater is strong and persistent, but the circulator requires attention.
- In another hvac-talk.com forum, another tech observes that the Weil McLain boiler works very well, especially through 3-way valves, and produces considerable heat. A couple of other forum guests agreed with this assessment.
- In this hvac-talk.com forum, both techs and guests agree that Weil McLain provides good multiple relay distribution, providing that the circulator and thermostats are up to par.
Warranty
Weil McLain boilers have a 15-year limited warranty on residential models with a 5-year "ultra" protection plan (HPP). The limited warranty on commercial models is 15 years, without the "ultra" protection plan.
