Wall Mounted Boilers Help Protect Against Flood Damage

Monday, September 12, 2011 by Gerry Clisham
The recent floods in the Northeast and Midwest have created quite a bit of havoc so far this year.  We can only hope that the worst is past and that those affected will be able to quickly make repairs and move ahead with their lives. 
Wall Mounted Prestige Boiler
Unfortunately a flooded basement will require the replacement of a boiler if the flood waters are able to enter the boiler enclosure.  This brings into focus another advantage of the Prestige Challenger and Prestige Wall Hung Condensing Boilers.  We have heard many accounts from homeowners where, although they had flood water in their basement, the water had not reached the boiler.  

The Prestige Condensing Boilers and the Challenger Combination Boilers are designed to be wall mounted.   This brings key components to eye level, which enables the boilers to be serviced and checked more easily.  The Prestige and Challenger are highly efficiency boilers with AFUEs of 96% and 95% respectively.  They are available in natural gas or propane, and are a green choice with low NOx emissions.  

The Challenger Combination Boiler can provide up to 3 GPM of hot water, while the Prestige Excellence can provide up to 180 GPH from its internal storage tank.  The Prestige Solo models can be combined with a Smart Indirect Water Heater to provide plentiful hot water.

If you are replacing a flood damaged boiler or adding a new boiler, consider the advantages of the wall mounted Prestige or Challenger boilers from Triangle Tube.  They could save you time and trouble in the future.

Research shows that almost 100% of all basements will suffer some form of basement flooding at some point in their existence. “Almost 100%” translates into “it’s certain”. It makes sense, too, because basements are the single lowest location in any structure, and excess water is always going to flow downhill. Put the two together and you have an unwelcome flooded basement.
