AHS Boiler Poll

PostBy: PatrickAHS On: Thu Feb 05, 2009 3:10 pm

How satisfied are you with your AHS boiler?

Please leave boiler type, age, and why you voted the way you did.

Note: This poll is regarding the boiler itself, not AHS as a company. That will be a different poll.

I voted for my Dad who has a e180 wood burner made from stainless. He has had that unit for 6 years now. He had a plain steel unit for 17 years before that and only replaced it to ensure reliability late into his retirement. Solid unit, great performer. He burns about 35 face cord a year heating his 3500 sq ft house.

I bought my AHS S-130 in May of 2004. I found the AHS company via an Internet search for coal boilers. I visited AHS with my wife prior to purchase to actually see what a "coal gun" was. Jeff the owner, gave us a tour and showed us the cut-away boiler. I have to admit I didn't really understand how it burn coal but could see it was well made. My second trip was to pickup my boiler. I self installed the boiler with no problems. It's a good product and I highly recommend it.

I voted for my friend. He's happy as a clam at high tide with his AHS130. More than once he has expressed to me how he's surprised at how little attention it takes to keep it running. Other than adding a bags of coal as needed and emptying the ashes every couple of days, he hasn't touched it since day one.
