Title: Heat exchanger deal on Ebay
Post by: andyhowardcity on August 30, 2011, 10:30:58 AM
Hello all,
I am looking at buying this heat exchanger.  It's such a good deal, I wondered if anyone had any feedback on whether it's a too good to be true deal.  I need an 18x18.  It's $147 with a 10 year warranty and free shipping.

Thanks,

It LOOKS like a good deal. You notice it dosesn't have fitting on it, right?

None of them come with fittings, each job requires different fittings. 

But yea, thats a good deal.

I'd probably go for something with three rows of interior loops than just two. 

I bought a 20x20 last year from the seller "Freeheat4U" on ebay.  He had fast shipping and a quality product.

Here's an 18x18 three row for $1 more than the one you listed with free shipping:

the only thing I dont like about that one is that it's 4 inches thick.  Sometimes with these coils you need every bit of space you can get.  3 1/2 is standard from what ive seen
