Reconditioning and Warranty

02
How are your used boilers reconditioned?

Reconditioning includes retubing as required, cleaning the fireside, waterside, and outside, painting, new fireside and waterside gaskets, and hydrostatic testing of the vessel. New Honeywell or Fireye controls, electrical and control panels, and steam pressure controls are installed as needed, and every boiler receives electrical and mechanical checks to find and replace defective components.

Do your boilers come with a warranty?

Yes. Reconditioned boilers include a one year parts replacement warranty on controls. We also guarantee that the pressure vessel and tubes are in good condition and that the boiler will pass a hydrostatic test at the time of startup.

Are safety relief valves included?

New safety relief valves are installed or shipped loose for field installation, depending on the boiler and your project.
