Hello fellow central boiler owners. I was wondering if anyone has a 7+ year old Central Boiler 4030, I have one and i am on my 7th season i have noticed that the bottom lip of the door frame (collar) where the door gasket presses against to make a seal is noticeably thinner that the top and sides, i suspect it has corroded or worn thin over the years.
Is this a part that would be under warranty?
Is this an easy fix to weld a new piece of steel if it does wear through?
I hope my ash pan is not getting thinner as well, it appears the be in great shape i scrape the pan down every week or two and inspect for corrosion as well as you can in the heating season, no signs so far.

I have a 4030 but its only my 3rd. yr. on it I love it I'm heating about 3000 sq.ft. easily. How many sq.ft. are you heating with yours? I live in mich. and its been a real winter this yr. we have used about 15 face cords so far. We started it up about the middle of sept.

semse like a lot of wood to. Im heating a 44x28 open concept cap3e and used well under 10 cord with my 5036. Im in maine.

15 face cords is 5 cords. That's not bad at all for an outdoor boiler. That's what you'd expect with an indoor stove.
-
yes, that is good. Im not sure what a face cord is i guess.

I burned around 25-30 face cord, started sept 4th, shut down may 5th. Burned popple, soft maple, ash, alittle oak. Have the house, at 73 degrees, and heat my domastic water. I have lines running to my pole barn, but thats all, no heat, will be heating that this coming winter, not a whole lot, but get the chill out. I have a 5036 1st year.
