DO NOT SERVICE THE BOILER WITHOUT A WM97+ MAINTENANCE KIT AVAILABLE
The WM97+ maintenance kit includes components that may have to be replaced when accessing or disassembling parts of the boiler. Failure to replace damaged components and to use only the parts specifically intended for the boiler can result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

Great video Mike!
Those units look tight for service.
Merry Christmas to you and the guys!
Mikey, big fan of your videos. I have this exact boiler and will now perform this maintenance. Thanks
Nice 👍
Well done, Mikey…….Your Vids have come a long way! Liked & shared…..😁
You need to buy a few headlamps. They work great. Good channel.👍
Nice venting gloves kelvin keep the hard work with saint Mike, thanks to all you guys for all the tips and have a great holiday.
good video, that's the kind of stuff I do to
Happy Holidays St Mike. I Was wondering what was in the vial with the yellow contents and how do you add it to the system?
Do alot of people in your area install Weil Mclain? Have you installed any Mike? Where I used to work we installed alot the 97 plus was a good boiler
I’m impressed. When I was taught to service these we never replace the gasket or refractory unless absolutely necessary. But this seems like a far superior maintance. Where do you get your replacement parts from?

You should carry a 1/4 in ratchet and sockets to get in the tight spaces better. 👍🏻
How did you market your company when you first started? Did you use angies list, or google reviews, or a bunch of lead services? I'm curious because I want to start my own roofing business but I heard a lot of those lead services are scams. Any suggestions ?
Any videos on flushing the system for domestic hot water.
Did you use a torque wrench on the nuts.Is it required.
my plumbers dont do anywhere near this level of annual maintenance - its hard to find people knowledgeable enough to service condensing boilers
what does a maintenance like this cost a customer
Mikey try plug-in bottom of it and filling it up with CLR and hot water for 15 minutes...Shit looks like coffee!
Great job, can we hire you to come and do maintenance on ours? We can not find anyone.
@@PipeDoctor We are in Stillwater, Pa
@@PipeDoctor Yes I checked out your web site. Thank you anyway.
doing this right now to mine. Glad for the video but very little information in the way of describing what you're doing through the process. Lot's of camera going all over the place, just no explanation of the various steps. Could've done a lot better.
Glad I could help
Basically an ultra with a better heat exchanger
Hit the nail on the head with that one
No it basically an eco with an expansion tank and its own primary loop and ports for an indirect tank. An Evergreen is basically an Ultra with a better heat exchanger
See if Navien just outlined misc gaskets to be replaced in a certain interval like this company. However ridiculous . It would be less likely to be fully at fault .
That's ridiculous you have to do that every single year That's a lot of money there.
@@PipeDoctor a navien The annual service is just run cleaner through the key exchanger and clean the filter which a homeowner can do if they're that type of person and you don't have to disassemble the whole thing unlike that weil McLain. How much did that serve this cost roughly with parts and labor?
Maintenance on the Lochinvar Noble is very straightforward and easy. Lots of room to work inside the cabinet.
That’s the problem with some of these high efficiency systems. Any money you save on energy costs is lost due to the high cost of maintenance and repair.
I paid $300 for a maintenance service plus $80 for service kit. The guy screwed my system up and would up having to replace one relay. Now I do it myself. Also had to replace my blower assembly ($510) after 8 years.
European heat exchanger
Hey can anyone tell me: Why would I as a consumer choose a condensing fire tube boiler over a condensing water tube boiler? For example the Navien NFB vs. NHB boilers
Excellent question. Generally speaking water tube heat exchangers have higher head (more resistance to flow), and therefore in most cases must
be plumbed primary/secondary. They also don't generally have much water in the heat exchanger making them more susceptible to various undesirable conditions like flash boil -- this could potentially crack the heat exchanger. Comparing NHB vs NFB if you look at specs, NHB goes down to 8 kbtu/h where NFB-175 for example only goes down to 17.5 kbtu/h which is more than double. So each has their own uses. A lot depends on how a house is zoned. Ideally your smallest zone should be able to emit the minimum firing rate of the boiler (at condensing temps). Otherwise it will short-cycle the boiler leading to its untimely demise.
@@PipeDoctor Mike, it's your own fault, you got me interested in this when you visited me and offered NCB-240e, AND you said that even though the thing is rated for 95% efficiency, in reality you'll only get about 88%. So engineer in me thought: WTF??? So I started learning. You created a MONSTER!!!
@@PipeDoctor A while back, just before that gas moratorium began... I'm guessing early 2019...
