I have a 30 year old oil fired Trianco Redfyre TRO pressure jet (25 kw / 85000 Btu/h) which is becoming less reliable.
In the past I have maintained various classic cars and made sure they were reliable by giving them a thorough service at the beginning of ownership (all hoses, ignition parts, etc.) It is expensive initially but you end up with reliable transport.
I would like to do the same with my Trianco but I find it difficult getting parts (pump solenoid for example). So my questions are:
1) Should I just ditch the Trianco and get a new one, because spare parts are going to be a problem?
2) There are major disagreements over the reliability of various makes of oil fired boilers. I would put reliability and cheap parts at the top of the list.
When the guarantee runs out I would like something that I can service myself and that is easy to repair in an emergency. It would be nice if it didn't drink kerosene like the Trianco as well.
3) Should I buy a new Trianco? I have heard they are (were) well built but basic. Are the new ones still as good?
Comments please.
