So, we all know that recently, ceramics and refractory technology has come a long way in terms of both efficiency and durability. However, the fact remains that these refractory packages are exposed to 2000 degrees of heat, sometimes on a near-constant basis. With that level of heat and moving air, these components WILL wear out.
Has anyone had to replace their refractory packages in their boiler?
How long did you have it before you needed to replace it and what type of service did the boiler provide(year round for DHW, 50% of heat only in winter, etc.)
If you have, was this covered by warranty either partially or in full?
What was out of pocket cost if the parts were not covered, or you had to pay labor for the replacement?
What type of warranty is offered by some of the leading brands in regard to the refractory packages?
