Great UNIT A+

This is the second unit that I have bought and was even a replacement to an older unit. The install was easy since it was an easy bolt in rewire,(about1.5hrs.). Lots of nice better data than the old one and has been running GREAT!!! UNBELIVABLE QUICK SHIPPING!!!! I have recommend this site to many others and even brought it up to my normal HVAC service and he liked the price$$$$.

Horrible boiler

I don't understand all the positive reviews this boiler has tons of problems. First off the heat exchanger towards the bottom is almost impossible to clean if it plugs up. Secondly the cork gasket between the Venturi and gas manifolds leaks over time and or when unit is serviced it needs a new gasket most people don't carry this gasket. Ultimately what happens is gas comes out and I've seen a few of these boilers catch fire. It is a awful design and would never recommend one ever. And if I see one I recommend replacing it ASAP. Piece of garbage boiler do not buy or listen to the other reviews

Low reliability

Constantly plagued with the red screen of death lock-outs, problems and low reliability. Very difficult to find technicians that are willing to service the unit and Weil-McLain has horrible support . Frequently needs parts that are very expensive. Not as efficient as claimed. Regret installing this boiler the day it was turned on. Have had to live many days in a frigid house and lots of cold showers. Not recommended at all.

High-Efficiency, Low Reliability Boiler

Brand new unit installed in the Fall of 2014. 16 months later, the boiler has been down and in need of repairs 6 times. Circulator pumps (provided with the boiler by Weil McLain), circuit called (recalled in my unit before I purchased it - somehow "slipped through the process"), and generally unreliable performance from this expensive unit. Weil McLain's regional service rep and local distributor came out after the 4th failure was fixed and said "if it goes down again, we may have to do something". Still waiting for the "do something" part from Weil McLain.

Great Investment

Replaced a newer 85% efficency oil fired unit with this one. Oil cost us around $100.00 per month in the summer just to heat the domestic hot water. Now runs us around $20.00. Also makes very little noise, most of the time you do not even notice it is running. Very happy with this unit, and should pay for itself within the first four years of service.

Great set up , easy install

I purchased the ultra 155 to replace the 1960 180000 btu weilmclain boiler that was original with the house. I would recommend the easy up manifold kit it makes the piping start up easy and takes out some of the guess work, the instructions are very detailed and tell you everything you need to know, from the piping layout to the gauge of wire for your pumps. The programming and startup is smooth just follow the instructions and use the four buttons to navigate through the screen. Yes I would purchase this again!!!

Q: Can I use my existing chimney so I don't have to cut a hole in the wall for pvc,also do you guys have a finance option for purchase

Asked by Woody 9 years ago

If used, a masonry chimney can ONLY be used as a PIPE CHASE for vent and air pipes — The vent and air piping must be installed as instructed in this manual and all joints must be sealed. The chimney must be used only for Ultra boilers. NO OTHER appliance or fireplace can be connected to the chimney. The chimney must be straight, with no offsets, and the vent and air piping materials must comply with this instruction manual. The chimney must be fitted with a sealed access opening, through which the interior of the chimney can be inspected. The chimney (and liner, if installed) must be inspected at least once annually to verify condition. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage. That is straight out of the venting section of the install. You may want to take a look at that http://s3.supplyhouse.com/product_files/Weil%20Mclain%20-%20383-500-723%20-%20Install%20Instructions%20(Venting).pdf We do not have any finance options unfortunately. You would have to pay for the unit in full before we ship it out to you.

Yes this boiler can do up to 3 zones with its built in controls. A tekmar zoning system can be used if more than 3 zones is needed.

Q: Outdoor reset & domestic Priority standard???Explain please Does the boiler have a built in Low h2o cut off?? Does it come with nuetralizer for condensate ??

Asked by Wannabe 13 years ago

The boiler does not come with a low-water cutoff or condensate neutralization kit, but these can be purchased separately. Outdoor reset technology allows the boiler to save energy by producing lower water temperatures when outdoor temperatures are warmer. Priority refers to its capability to have a zone for an indirect water heater that takes precedence over all the space heating zones.

I'm not sure about outdoor reset. It measures outdoor temperature to determine how hot to make the water. At warmer outdoor temperatures it fires a a lower rate to burn longer and more efficiently. Domestic priority is for homes that have their domestic hot water on a tank off the boiler. If there is high demand for both heat and high demand for hot water, the hot water zone gets the heat first. There is a low water cut off. Condensate just drains out the side. You have to make your own arrangements for collecting it. For the first year I used a coffee can and a 6 year old boy. Now we have a float operated pump. It came with a water treatment kit for the boiler water. Willy Spurr

The boiler comes set up for natural gas and can be converted to propane with the supplied kit.

Was this review helpful to you?

Yes. The Ultra 155 uses natural gas. I believe there are some that use propane so just make sure when ordering that you order natural gas. FYI: I installed mine last year and the electronic menu screen made it well worth it!

Q: Can i use glycol with this boiler and if so what type is required?

Asked by rispurge 14 years ago

This boiler works with most propylene glycol in concentrations up to 50%.

Was this review helpful to you?
-

it is better to use an exchanger,wm is very specific about what kind of glycol you can use,if any.

Was this review helpful to you?
-

Yes you can use glycol in a boiler. You need to contact the manufacture for the rate per gallon of water. Glycol well also reduce the BTU's that your boiler well produce. So you may want to increase your boiler size.

Was this review helpful to you?
-

I do not recall if you can use a glycol mix. Though if you check the site, the entire manual is available. I recommend reading it all the way through, before buying. You'll fell better about installing it if you do.

This boiler includes a 0014 boiler circulator. The size of the system circulator depends on the flow rate and head pressure in the system.

The boiler will have to be piped primary/secondary. You will have a primary (boiler) circulator and a secondary (system) circulator. The boiler comes with the primary circulator. You will need a secondary circulator.
