Burnham PV8H3WC-TBWN Water/Steam Oil Fired Boiler Less Tankless Coil, 1.05 gph, 109 MBH

I had this installed with new construction in 2000. The reputation of Burnham at the time was highly regarded. My boiler cracked in less than 12 years, and although the warranty covered 85% of the part, the labor involved tearing the entire unit apart and then reassembling: essentially the price of installing a new one. The issue here is this was a manufacturing defect known to the company, and I have researched many such complaints. An IRON boiler should not crack! The company is based in Pennsylvania (I am not), so my correspondence was at first by phone. The reps attitude was TOUGH S***, we won't share one penny towards labor. Nice huh? Their manufacturing defect, the customers problem. I would think they would pro rate the labor because of this, even when I only requested a 50% split between us. No dice, only an attorney. Run, don't walk to another company!
