KCHM boiler is just pipets

A comment

I bought a boiler kchm 5 combi cast iron on the recommendation of plumbers. The main argument was the omnivorousness of this boiler. Bought appreciated. For 2 years I changed 4 sections, the benefit is that people who are intent on selling b. at. boilers for cheap. And so the section is under 15,000 p. Already bought 2 boilers for spare parts of 3 sectional. Now only pleases the repair suit until the summer I will change to import metal. Grade 2 --------- This boiler has low efficiency. throw up often. You need to live near the boiler. Pros omnivorous and maintainability. I DO NOT ADVISE ANYONE

A comment

Terrible quality (I personally came across) !!!! I live in the Novosibirsk region. I bought in the regional center in the company, I use 2 winter. Everything is fine while you drown with wood. The first winter just ran. They opened: the boiler was assembled horribly sections in the sinks, rusty. Tyutyu firms. There are no guarantees. Brother, the heating system is at the factory. I ",,,," felt sorry for the money, and I chose it myself. I ordered the middle section in Progressenergo, changed it. I ran the rear-winter -40 welded by myself, not before the order. Today, a piece just fell out, we don’t overheat, I’m doing everything right, Guys laugh, and I cry .... and cry (emphasis on the second syllable !!!!)

I live alone with my son for 20 years. What is a furnace and how to heat I know !!!!! It would be better to buy an imported one. (Siberia has no gas and never will ...)

pros

Warms up quickly

Minuses

Poor quality cast iron and assembly control

Quality of KChM boilers of recent years

A comment

KChM coppers of the Soviet period were oak (in the good sense of the word) and reliable. The current production is just oak. On the base in 2009, they delivered KCHM 5 70 kW. Two years ago, they threw out the leaked section, without replacement, yesterday, replaced the back wall, also a fistula in casting. Moreover, water in a closed system is the best in Russia (Krasnoyarsk), similar to water from a mountain stream, according to guest workers. I talked with sellers - they say that the quality of cast iron has become much worse (some kind of "sponge cast iron), a lot of returns.

pros

"oak", omnivorous, maintainability

Minuses

Low reliability due to casting quality, low efficiency, low ash volume, unreasonably increased price

Term of use

more than five years

If you look at the price of quality KChM is perhaps the best

A comment

After much thought and searching for an alternative to a cast-iron boiler, I came to the conclusion that it is better to take cast iron for reliability, I chose 5 sections between KARBOR and KCHM, I can buy 5 sections, although I can buy spare parts for it, although it’s not very good in quality of assembly, all doors dangling harnesses fall off! after a little refinement it became ideal, then like with a Russian car))) I’ve been using it for 3 seasons I can’t get enough !!!

pros

not expensive, keeps heat well, easy to convert to gas, easy to maintain!

Minuses

build quality, very heavy!

And I am pleased with the KCHM-5 boiler

A comment

I have been using the KChM-5 boiler not so long ago, but still I want to share my impressions with you. This is a five-section boiler with a thermostat. With coal, a problem, by and large, you can’t buy a normal one anywhere, therefore, from hopelessness, I drown with wood. The regulator is mechanical, I use this because of constant power outages.

After installing the chimney, I immediately decided to fire the boiler, set the regulator to 30 degrees. But then a problem arose, it seems that he did everything right: the smoke is covered to the full, the blower is closed, the chain hangs, and the temperature rises above 70. I started looking at what the problem was and found it, found 4 holes in the blower, smeared them. The boiler became a little better heated, but not perfect, so I began to look for the following cracks. He pushed the lining down and it turned out that there are cracks along. I coated them too, after which the boiler began to work perfectly and the thermostat no longer lies.

pros

Works fine now

Minuses

There were holes and crevices

Term of use

more than one year

KCHM is not a bad boiler, but it required improvements

A comment

I thought that domestic products are the most reliable for our harsh climate. That is why I bought the KCHM boiler, but, alas, it turned out to be not so good.
Already in the third month of use, the heat-breaking grill burst, which is needed to protect the overheating door from overheating. And this despite the fact that it was drowned with good coal and it is made of cast iron. I didn’t start acquiring a new one, it makes no sense, it will also fall apart. Therefore, he found a plate about 2.5 cm thick and grinder cut the door and put it into operation.

I can also say that the ashpit is very small. Therefore, so that I would not have to clean it daily, I set P. Zolnik on a hill made of bricks with a small letter and I cleaned it big once in 4-5 days, and installed a door in front so that I could regulate the draft and close the ash pan. In principle, the boiler is not bad, but it required my modifications.

pros

In principle, it does not work badly

Minuses

Demanded improvements

KCHM-5 Combi boiler - personally disappointed me

A comment

It’s not the first winter that I have been using the KCHM-5 Combi boiler, it’s seven sectional, 60 kW. I am heated exclusively by coal. There have been many advantages, as well as disadvantages, for all the time, but for myself, I came to the conclusion that the purchase can most likely be attributed to unsuccessful. Buy or not, decide for yourself, below I will describe all the advantages and disadvantages.

pros

- the cost is quite low for this material;
- A fairly modern design, the boiler looks neat;
- is equipped with a temperature regulator;
- The regular draft regulator functions normally.

Minuses

- a sealing harness is laid very poorly, around the entire perimeter of the shurovnogo door, you can even say more than half of the harness is missing there;
- the door screen is jammed and distorted, now it is quite problematic to open it, you have to completely remove it inside the boiler. You need to do this every day, which again takes time and effort.

Term of use
