I wish we could buy US-style furnaces and AC units. European combi boilers seem to give up the ghost after 10-ish years, regardless of manufacturer. You are very lucky to get 15 years out of any one without major issues. Planned obsolence maybe?
- bluedino 4y agoIt's easy to buy a junk furnace in the USA. Even the good brands have begun to make low-end units with only five year warranties and few serviceable parts.
- sokoloff 4y agoMine is a Bosch, assembled in South Korea. From my research, these seem more common in UK and EU than over here. It was also only $2550 for the boiler (much more for the trim, labor, pipes, pumps, etc., but the boiler itself was cheap). That was cheap enough that I considered buying an entire second one to just put on the shelf for the eventual need to replace it or replace major parts. I decided not to as the space required is probably more valuable than having a whole shelf in the utility room tied up for 10-15 years.
