New Laars Distributor on the Web

parts4heating.com is a new business with warehouse locations in California and Massachusetts that focuses on support and parts for equipment from Laars Heating Systems. The company was created in late 2006 to fill a need for a source of knowledge of both the workings of the heating systems from Laars as well as the correct selection of parts to solve customer’s problems.

The company’s web site is designed to allow easy searching of parts via part name or part number allowing a fast selection. The site is constantly updated based on feedback from customers to improve the procedure of obtaining the parts needed. Their goal is to fill the gap where parts might not be easily available locally but needed within a short time frame, allowing customers to get their heating systems up and running with a minimum of downtime. Often, the technicians at parts4heating.com will help diagnose a problem and select the correct part for the problem at hand rather than blindly sending parts; this results in a faster return to operation. Further, this passage of information can lead back to local suppliers who may then be able to fill the local need for mechanics around the country. In addition parts4heating.com re-evaluates packaging for parts and verifies that all kits are complete from the factory – correcting any errors that may be found.

Laars Heating Systems Recalls Gas Boilers and Water Heaters Due to Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard

On March 6, 2007 Laars announced a recall of their 9600 CB and HWG series of boilers. Apparently the ABS exhaust manifolds of the boiler are prone to crack and leak flue gases from the units. Only boilers with a black, ABS manifolds are affected. Newer units with a grey, CPVC manifold are exempt. Laars has an US$85 labor allowance for the repair of all affected units.

Manifolds can be ordered from the factory by calling 800-900-9276 ext. 4. The repair kit in question is part number R206077 and is being provided at no cost, freight pre-paid to the jobsite by the factory.
