Lochinvar Recalls Condensing Boilers Due to Risk of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Consumers with the recalled boilers should immediately contact the installer or a qualified technician to schedule a free repair. The repair will consist of installing a steel plate, which will be affixed to the base of the flue collector to act as a reinforcement. Consumers who continue use of the boilers while awaiting repair should have working carbon monoxide alarms outside of sleeping areas and on each floor of the home.

Independent contractors, plumbers, and plumbing supply vendors and distributors from August 2021 through September 2023 for between $4,000 and $10,000, including installation. A limited number were sold to original equipment manufacturers who modify and use the boilers in integrated in-floor heating systems.

About 17, 370 (In addition, about 782 units were sold in Canada)

Lochinvar has received nine reports of broken flue collectors. Lochinvar has received no reports of injury.
