The product, in the report: ECR International Pennco Gas Boiler
The consumer noticed that there was a strange smell emitting from his gas boiler. The consumer first noticed the smell a few weeks ago. The consumer stated that the boiler has set off his smoke alarm. The consumer contacted his contractor who installed the boiler yesterday and he found that was a thick layer of soot in the sections of the cast iron boiler and flute pipe. The roof of the inner boiler was also discolored.
The consumer also had the utility company inspect the broiler yesterday and he could smell the same odor before inspecting the boiler. The contractor cleaned the boiler but when he returned the utility company tested it for CO2. The test results showed a high level of CO2 in a reading of 880 MMP. The utility company shut down the boiler. The consumer sent an email to the firm yesterday and has yet to receive a response.
The consumer has not experienced any residual effects from the product. The consumer stated that the product has not damaged his house. The consumer has not called the fire department or his home insurance company. The consumer stated that his furnace is very similar to one found in release 02-152 and poses the same hazard. Boiler had to be replaced at a cost of $2800.00.
