I need help with my maxim corn/wood pellet stove by central boiler?
Mar 06, 2007 by jeffery f
We bought a Maxim corn/wood pellet outside boiler by central boiler, it didn't work. it was replaced and now after 2 months of trying to learn to operate it, it is not functioning. our salesman came out and said central boiler told him to beat on the end of the auger with a hammer and instructed us to do the same if needed. we are told, we are the only ones to have a problem with our Maxim by Central boiler. if you have a maxim or know anything about them please help.
You should not have to hit anything with a hammer to get it to work (except for a nail). This is the second unit you've had trouble with and they told you you're the only one with that problem. They're lying or they have no idea what they're talking about, either way it doesn't sound like a company I'd want to do business with. Send the unit back and buy yourself a different brand.
Wood Pellet Boiler?
Dec 11, 2007 by ntsmaster
Has anyone out there got a wood pellet boiler? Would you recommend it as a domestic heating system for bungalow - radiators and hot water? What make/model?
I looked at a similar question here but it was a year old so thought I'd try again.
Thanks
Is it reliable?
We have a Gerkros Wood Pecker 30 Kw wood pellet boiler.
Had it for over a year.I have an un ending supply of roasting hot water and heat 14radiators off it and a heated towel rail.I highly recommend it.We were lucky to avail of a grant which covered over half of the cost.
Gerkros have a web site.
Indeed a 20 Kw would have done us.We partitioned off part of our garage as a pellet store and seperate boiler house.
Much cheaper having the pellets delivered in bulk.They're blown in to your storage area.There's a contraption specifically made to attach the delivery hose to.This is built in to the wall of the store.Access to this area has to be considered also as the delivery vehicle is large.You will require a hopper which you fill with pellets and they are fed to the boiler from there.You do need to do a bit of homework but it is worth it.
