Had our 8 year old Dunkirk steam boiler serviced two weeks ago and was told that it is leaking and needs to be replaced. Proceeded to freak out and frantically start pricing pellet stoves (will be installing a pellet stove after this crisis is handled. Fuel oil is getting out of control). Decided to have the original installer come out and take a look. They confirmed that we do have an issue, but finally got back to us today and said it is covered under warranty. Big sigh of relief until they tell us that the labor is going to cost $1,500-$2,000. Does anyone else think that sounds a little outrageous? I mean, a whole new boiler is about $2,600 for pete's sake with a new warranty. The replacement assumes the balance of the 12 year warranty (meaning just four years remaining).
We are now on Day 17 of no heat and need to make a quick decision. Thoughts on this situation are appreciated!
