Canada | March 2016 Testimonial | OffGrid Supply

After scouring every source possible I settled on a Portage and Main Ultimizer BL34-44 OWF. Other boilers did have a slightly better sales price but dont even come close to the quality and craftsmanship of portage and Main. Now that I have installed it in our home and have looked at other boilers running in the valley there is no way I would go any other way, not a chance. I could go on and on about the advantages but just want to confirm them and recommend looking them up if your interested. Our boiler has run flawlessly and the only concern I have is that it way exceeded my expatiation's on how efficient it is, I was expecting it to be closer to other brands I have seen in the valley. This gives us allot of extra capacity and because it goes into hibernation cycles when there isnt a big demand we get very long burn times well over 24 hours if were just heating our 2400 sqf house. We live off the grid and plan to use the extra capacity for a green house, generating electricity (ORC generator), hot pool, and a heated garage. Jim who runs slashyourheatingcosts and distributes Portage and Main in BC is very knowledgeable, passionate and helpful. Its a family run business his son delivered the boiler right to our property, helped unload it and gave us the run down. It doesn't get better then this and the only reason I'm writing this review is because I'm truly impressed. No more splitting wood, no smoke in the house or out side for that matter, no having to start fires, I find my self loading in 4ft pieces once a day. It takes me a day and a half to cut enough wood for the winter I wouldn't want to imagine how much that would cost in propane. Very good investment.
all the best
