Beware

We've had this unit for almost seven years and it has required numerous repairs, including replacement of the computer. now our plumber informs us that there are at least a dozen connector parts within this unit which have become corroded. he has seen this in all the units he installed. He has discovered that these parts were not manufactured in Germany, but in Korea, and they are all leaking. We are currently dealing with another winter of anxiety because this unit has once again failed. Wish we had read reviews more carefully before purchasing this unit.

Superbly engineered

What's great: - Superbly well engineered and constructed. - Includes outdoor temp sensor system and low-loss manifold assembly, vastly simplifying setup. What would help: - Installation documentation hasn't caught up with AMR-10, so you have to interpret the right installation approach among conflicting instructions. - A full-size installation template is included with the boiler. If this was available on-line, it would help installers to prepare piping, etc ahead of time.

a bad furnace

We installed this furnace in October of 2011. Without exaggeration I would guess that the installer has been out to our home about 15 times trying to get it right. We have a 3200 square foot house with eight zones. Not one room is comfortable when the temp. outside is lower than 30 degrees. If we set a room for 70 degrees it will be lucky to reach 62. When temperatures outside get above 40 it works well. The guy that installed it is fairly knowledgable and is a nice guy but the buderus people don't seem to be helping him very much. I haven't got a lawyer because I really like the installer but we are at our wits end especially for my wife who suffers from the continued cold in our home. I would do anything to get my old inefficient furnace back.

Kudo's to the engineering of this design

Really love the design, low loss header was easy to attach. Directions on how to setup was easy. Must say unit is in only 4 weeks but seems to perform flawlessly. Highly recommend. Will give another review following our winter months.

So far so good!!

I've only had it in service for about a month, but it seems to be pretty nice. Endless hot water, very quite & nice heating. I only have it running at 60% because its not that cold out yet.

Q: WILL IT WORK WITH CAST IRON RAD.

Asked by JOE 12 years ago

It will, but keep in mind that condensing boilers can only approach peak efficiency when return fluid temperatures are relatively low (usually 140°F or less). Cast iron radiators normally run at higher temperatures (180°F to 200°F), so they are not always the best choice with a high-efficiency boiler.

Q: I have a home in Sandgate VT, it is an old railway depot which was remodeled as a home and is well insulated. 2200 sq ft. With hydronic baseboard heating and an indirect hot water tank for domestic hot water. The current oil burner which just expired this past winter after 30 years of service is rated at 180,000 BTU - as noisy as the trains this depot used to service. A local Buderus certified HVAC contractor has spec"d this boiler which at 91,000 BTU's is just about half the load of previous boiler. The million dollar question, will this boiler be able to heat this house on those 20 below winter nights? And the other question, as this is a modulating boiler which will be used to heat domestic water during Summer, what is the efficiency of this unit during this period of time.

We would recommend that you have a heat-loss calculation performed on the building to get a definitive BTU requirement. 91,000 BTUs sounds reasonable for 2,200 feet of well-insulated space (and many installers had a tendency to oversize boilers in the past), but it is better to oversize than to undersize the boiler.

We use this boiler to replace a 200000 BTU Ruud boiler installed in 1954. The house is a 1932 masonry semi-detached, is not particularly well insulated and still has the original windows and cast iron radiators. The house is 3300 square feet on three levels plus a basement, in Washington DC. We have enough extra capacity that we are adding radiator heat to the basement. We do have the advantage of a common wall with the neighbors, but it is completely un insulated. If your contractor has calculated this out, he is probably correct. The efficiency of this boiler is easily around double that of your old one. If you are uncomfortable with this choice, then buy the next size up at about 105000 BTU. Sent from my iPhone

Q: Can't decide between Burnham Alpine, WM Ultra and Buderus Gb142. It is for a two story 2050 sq ft house in Nassau County. Is 83000 BTU enough? The buderus is about 75000 BtUs.

On Long Island, 35 BTUs per square foot is usually a safe figure, but every house is different. You'd need to perform a heat loss calculation to get an exact figure, but you may also want to try our BTU Calculator: http://www.pexsupply.com/pex/control/BTUCalculator

The LP orifice that is included with the boiler can be used to convert the unit to propane following the instructions outlined in the manual below. http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1282584627079/37686_PROD_FILE.pdf

Q: It is for a new home in ND, with minimal heat loss.. Home will be around 3000 square feet.

Asked by 15 years ago

You would be looking at around 30 BTUs per square foot, which, for a brand new home with minimal heat loss, should be sufficient (even in North Dakota). The only way to be 100% sure of your BTU requirement, however, would be to perform a manual J/heat loss calculation.

I had this furnace installed in October 2010 in ND. It was a significant decrease in BTU output from original 1964 boiler (140k to 91.5k for 3200sq ft plus a heated double garage) but the installer assured me that it would be enough - and he was more than right. We've never had a cold day in the house since its installation and are really impressed with the furnaces' performance.

That will be based on the heat loss of the space.

I had one installed in 2005. My house is one story & about 1500 sq ft. It is installed in a laundry/utility room in the middle of the house. it is very quiet! I can not even here it running standing outside the room. My boiler provides hot water, heat through a coil in the air handler, & radiant floor heat! I Love it! Very efficient!

You would need to use an indirect water heater in order to get domestic hot water with this unit.

This is a direct vent unit with surface ignition. You should have no problems with it.
