Title: How old is your Classic
Post by: Chugger4030 on March 06, 2013, 04:08:22 PM: Regarding the ages of your Central Boiler Classic (conventional) models, I am on year 7 and was wondering how long these stoves will last with proper maintenance and care (water testing, cleaning firebox/oil in off season, rain cap etc.)
I have not had to replace anything other than the front door which cracked for some reason, but that was covered under the warranty.

What's a CL-17 look like can you take a pic? Good for you on 22nd year that's awesome. You must be doing something right

Is this typical? I would expect a pump to last 10-20 years.

Post by: jfsanterre on March 22, 2013, 09:05:59 PM: mine is running since 1997 model cl-17. got the furnace used from a guy down the road who never use water treatment, or ashtroll. I redid the tin and insulation all around last year and the only thing wrong with it was a small "stress"crack close to the door, it was an easy fix.
