Burnham V8 Boiler Overview

I installed a Burnham steam boiler about 12 yrs ago found out 2 days after new years its cracked and needs replacement. Called Burnham to see about warranty they where very rude told me it is out of warranty and blamed it on the government. Searching on the internet found out this is a known problem and Burnham continues to rip people off. Would never buy their product again or recommend rip off company.

My Burnham boiler started leaking from a crack in cast iron at Xmas and was just replaced today. I took advantage of the prorated warranty but after reading all these posts wish I just went to an entirely different Boiler manufacturer. The warranty itself is flawed because the discount comes off an outrageous retail cost and the new boiler is not warrantied unless you replace the heating core and burner. After researching further this appears to be a problem that has existed with Burnham for almost 20 years. Does anybody know of any class action lawsuits?

Burnham may have once been a company that produced quality products but they now make boilers that are defective and leak. My boiler is only 12 years old and is leaking. I have been quoted a cost of approximately $9000 to replace it with a small rebate by Burnham to replace it with another one of their boilers. Unfortunately, failing and leaking boilers seem to be their standard instead of an exception. After reading so many reviews with the same problem and at the same time in the life of the product I do not want to replace it with another Burnham even if they are paying me to do so. I am in Connecticut and if anyone knows of a class action lawsuit that I can join, please respond.

Our current boiler is a warranty replacement from Burnham on a previous unit that was 9 years old. The last one had a cracked core. We are now faced with the same issue with this one. I guess Burnham still hasn't gotten it right and needs to develop a product that lasts more than 10 years. The cost to fix it will be almost $2000, which is exclusive of them sending us a new core. Time to move on to a more reliable brand.

Shelled out $3500 to replace two cracked Burnham boilers. I got lucky and the 2nd one failed a year after the 10-year warranty expired on the first replacement. The sticker says "Boiler Casting Made USA – Quality You Can Depend On"! I thought that was pretty funny when I read it! I can only wait and see how long the 3rd one lasts.
