Mbtek Duo Boiler?

[Case1030]

Talked to one of the guys over the phone via number provided on their website. Claimed they exceed current epa emissions and can burn Pellets, grain, coal, other biomass that can auger upto 1.5 inches. Also has the capability to burn cord wood in the same firebox without any changes.

Pellet duo has an advertised 92% overall efficiency, and the eko duo coal/pellet burner is slightly lower at 90%.

The guy mentioned no problem with house insurance (which I'd double check before purchasing).

Anyone know or have experience with this brand? Couldn't find any reviews online. Their was an old post back in 2017 but nothing helpful.

Those efficiency numbers are unrealistic, would make me skeptical about the rest of it.

Yeah, kinda what I thought too...I'd hafta see some independent test documentation...seems like we would have heard a lot more about these boys if all this were true...

So on their pellet boiler units they have a European rating class 5. European standards not more strict than epa regs?

Doesn't count in N.A. if they don't do the testing no EPA listing. Also ask them about the CSA/UL certification, without it you can't get house insurance. Buyer beware.

Yup that's the only thing my insurance guy said when I was planning my switch - make sure there's a CSA sticker on the boiler and you're fine.

I had a really solid experience with MBTEK.

Their customer service was great, responsive, helpful, and easy to work with whenever I had questions. It made the whole process feel smooth and straightforward.

The products I bought have been working really well so far, no issues at all. Everything arrived in good condition and has performed exactly as expected. I had some question after I got the BOILER and they actually helped me

Also, I’d definitely recommend checking out their YouTube videos. They helped me a lot to better understand everything before and after getting started.

Buyer be aware.
Do your homework.

Lots of red flags
All their biomass boilers are listed as commercial only. In theory this does not require EPA certification

FULL DISCLOSURE:
it is very tough to compete with a company like this because of all the bogus claims.
They have nothing: no CSA, no UL, no EPA

Go with a reputable company, who is in it for the long run.
