Hey buddy, I warned ya and tried to tell you what was about to happen! It pretty much went the way I figured it would! Better luck next time, do you need help getting parts or what's going on now? Give us an update
The moral to the story is find the right person to purchase your boiler and accessories from. Scott7m gave me a great deal and I passed due to a couple hundred dollars difference.
If I would have went with Scott right now I would be heating my home with the boiler he wanted to sell me. I have had to buy fuel oil at 4 bucks a gallon since October while the credit card company tried to help get the transaction completed with Lying Craig at Midwest. It STILL is not resolved. The guy could have resolved the missing parts issue in less than 3 days but chose to blow me off and lie for a month.
I ended up calling Scott on Wednesday night to order the missing items from my purchase with Midwest. The pex and hot water heat exchange showed up in 2 days. I am working in 9 degree weather today trying to get the boiler going. Scott has been helping me with the hookup questions as well....and not charging me for his knowledge.
Scott IS a person who stands behind his business, wood boilers, he will be there after the sale as many others aren't when it comes to boilers. They wanna sell you and then they are gone. Scott was there for me even AFTER I bought elsewhere.
Do yourself a favor if you are researching buying a boiler. Call Scott7m and you will get the answers you need and the service you deserve. His number is under his ID on these threads.
Nope he isn't paying me to plug his business. I can assure you he knows his business and can help you research your needs and get a great deal for you. It's worth paying a few dollars more now than losing your butt long term. Boilers and accessories he is the guy.
JMHO
