Hot Water Boiler Recall

A recall has been issued involving U.S. Boiler ESC, PVG and SCG model cast iron hot water boilers that use natural gas or liquid petroleum. U.S. Boiler Company has identified that under certain circumstances, the air pressure switch can fail to shut down the burners when there is a blockage in the vent system, causing the boiler to emit excessive amounts of carbon monoxide into the vent systems. Neither Health Canada nor U.S. Boiler Company has received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada. Approximately 310 of the recalled products were sold in Canada sold from April 2006 to February 2013 and approximately 26 000 were sold in the U.S.

The boilers are light blue in colour with black trim, about 102 centimetres (40 inches) tall, about 66 centimetres (26 inches) deep and range from 30.5 to 79 centimetres (12 to 31 inches) wide. The model name and U.S. Boiler logo are on the front cover of the boiler. The front cover of the boiler is vented.  The model number, serial number and manufacturing date are located on a silver label on the top panel of ESC models and on the inside of PVG and SCG models on the right side panel. The manufacturing date appears in the upper right corner of the silver label in the MM/YYYY format.

Did you know there are 3 types of WETT Inspection?

Although there are 3 types of WETT inspection that are progressive, Level 1 leads to 2 and 2 leads to 3. Most Insurance companies and hence most Real Estate transactions require Level 1

 

What is a WETT inspection? It’s a visual inspection of a wood burning appliance.  WETT is Wood Energy Technology Transfer.  There are three levels of inspections available in addition to maintenance done to chimneys, such as sweeping.

Level one is a visual inspection of readily accessible components of a wood burning system. The purpose is to determine if the system meets current standards and regulations. No components are required to be  disassembled and mounting of the roof is not mandatory during a level one inspection. Level two is an inspection that includes the dismantling of smoke pipes in addition to the visual inspection. Trim may also be removed from fireplace inserts. The chimney would likely be swept and often, a camera inspection of the chimney can be done, as a part of this service. Level three would include all the details of a level two, but would also involve cutting holes in walls to inspect hidden components. This type of inspection is very rarely done and would likely be ordered by the Fire Marshall in response to suspicions of serious code issues At Home and Play Inspections provides Level 1 inspections to assist you in the Real Estate Transaction or for knowledge of your home.
