Weil-McLain in Metro Vancouver — full lineup, install, service & repair
American boiler heritage since 1881 — cast-iron tradition meets modern condensing efficiency
American (Michigan City, Indiana — founded 1881; one of North America's oldest boiler manufacturers)
Why Weil-McLain works well in Metro Vancouver
Weil-McLain has two distinct product lines for Metro Vancouver homeowners: heritage cast-iron boilers (still found in many older Vancouver homes built between 1950-1990) and modern condensing units like the Evergreen and Ultra series. The cast-iron heritage units (CG/EG/WGO/PEG) are legendary for 30-50 year service life when properly maintained; the modern condensing line delivers 95% AFUE in a contemporary wall-hung or floor-standing format.
