I dated a National Boiler once. Never again.
Thank you. Thank you very much.

[John Arnold]

Ok, now I feel bad about making a joke.
Do you have any pics of the thing? Does it look old?

[Jeff Allison]

Uhh.... yea.... its old.

The homeowners have been there for 35 years and it was there when they bought it. Has not been serviced in 10-15 years professionaly.

Homeowner worked for the electric company.

I already recommended a new boiler just on age but I am curious how old the thing is and if the model and serial number will tell.

thanks for making fun of the post too, it was funny.

A lot of the boilers I see around Philadelphia have a foil tag wired inside the front cover with the date of installation kind of imprinted on it.

You could always call or write to National Boilers at
National Boiler Service - Contacts (http://www.nationalboiler.com/contacts.html) .

[Jeff Allison]

Naa. Looked for the tag and none was present.

I will try your source.
Thanks!
