Having recently bought my first multi family, and am now facing the upcoming Winter season with three 20 year old Peerless hot water gas heaters, I have begun to realize how vulnerable I could be if one or more of them happen to fail. When the mortgage company rep did his "positive" evaluation, he did little more than turn them on and off until the radiators heated up, adding that their was "not God and that there was just no way to predict how many more years these well made Peerless heaters will last." and that gas boilers don't require much annual maintainance." etc

Accordingly, will someone out there with experience with such boilers "in good condition" respond to the above information and give me some guidance?

Many Thankyous!

Those things last forever as long as the cast iron chamber doesn't crack. I have couple much older gas hot water boilers. Any parts can be replaced easily..

Don't sweat it.. find a company that does 24/7 service call.. If you are in Providence or vicinity, Carbone plumbing has been around for long time, not the cheapest , but they do show up (about $100/hr for service calls)..
