Default Not for nothing but

At 30 years old I doubt this is your first time having issues. Maybe this should have been addressed long before it got this far, and failed during the winter?
Then again maybe not, just saying. I've seen it all the time especially in rental property situations.
Being a rental property owner it is hard to bite the bullet on a heating system.
At 6K for a boiler (we replaced on and have another on the to do list) it isn't a small investment and one that adds absolutely no value back into the building.

I'm just curious why you think a new boiler adds no value? Not a slam, just an honest question. If I were a renter, I would be thrilled with a new, efficient boiler which might reduce my heating costs. At the very least, it would ease my mind knowing that it would be less likely I'd lose heat.

Thanks,

True from a renters aspect but as far as home value it adds none. Doors, windows, roof, boiler are all things that a house needs. Although updating and painting improves the likely hood of a sale none will add extra value to a home that is being marketed. Now on the other side, needing a new roof, boiler, paint job can reduce the chances of getting top dollar for a house being sold.
I always thought differently until a realtor explained this to me. It does make sense. Now interior upgrades will add value, especially kitchens and baths.

Your response is really way out of line on a commercial building.....

A commercial boiler can go 40 years in some cases. The boilers are built alot different than the standard residential system. On that note a commercial boiler is going to be double or triple the $6,000 price you quoted for a residential system. We just replaced commercial boilers in 3 buildings we have and at a cost of $28,000 per building. The systems were down for 4 days per building to make all the necessary changes.

I feel that the owners of Kellerhaus are doing the right thing by limping the exisitng boiler along and supplementing with extra portable heating units until the season changes.

Just my two cents, and today my two cents are free, LOL.

Default Thank you daved and Welcome.

Welcome Dave D, and thanks for taking time out from your other duties as a business owner to answer the negative comments in this thread.

Too bad a simple "Gee, sure is cool in here today" was not said, so that an employee could say "we are having a little problem with the furnace, but thanks for your concern."

Good luck with the repairs, and hope all goes well through the rest of the winter, into the spring and summer.

My biggest concern as a customer would be if there were hot water at the required temperature and quantity for the cleaning of food service equipment and employee hygiene. These are not random numbers but are well recognized as necessary to prevent some really ugly situations.

THIS is a thread that should be "moderated" away.

Default Cool commercial buildings

Actually I like it on the cool side. An overheated building makes me breeze right back out in the cold air.

Default Thanks Dave

Well said Dave, if any of these nay-sayers had bothered to look at your facebook page, they would have known the reason for the problems.
Some people need a life or a friend, not a forum.
You know you have a very dedicated customer base and you have never skimped on the candy or, most importantly, on the ice cream.
Been a customer for 44 years and hope to be for 44 more!!!
