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.

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.
