How old is your Classic
« 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.

CL-17 working through it's 22nd year. No major problems yet. Perhaps I'm just "lucky".

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

Have not done anything to it, other than replace the stack, in the 10 years I've had it.

Replacing pumps is a given. Pumps last me an average of 2 years.

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

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.
