The Complete Package

Many times in my life, I've purchased some pre-cut furniture from a big box store.  Now, I knew it would take some assembly at home but figured I'm pretty handy, shouldn't be a problem.  Then, I get home, open the box, pull out 17 different wood panels and 43 screws that all look the same.  Now what???  I know, I'll check the instructions!  Ok, so part A connects to panel Z, then use 4 screws in the pre-drilled holes, etc, etc...and it'll be perfect, right?  Wait, why is there an extra panel?  And three extra screws?  Hmmm...well, it looks pretty good and sturdy, I'll just go with it!

So what does ANY of this have to do with boilers???  Well, with today's high efficiency boilers, there are more and more critical components that are required during an installation.  Where do I put the service valves?  Do I put a check valve before or after the bypass?  And what's this box with wires coming out of it????  Behold, pre-packaged boiler systems!  Goes Heating Systems can provide a complete package system with single point water, electric, control and gas.  Each package system is custom built to the exact requirements of the project to allow for maximum design flexibility.  It gives all parties involved the knowledge that the boiler and all required components are installed exactly as required by the manufacturer.


Now, some will say this takes money away from the contractor.  This is actually the opposite; this puts the responsibility on Goes, so there is a fixed cost to the boiler install and any estimator will tell you they would rather know their fixed cost than have to worry about a labor budget.

So, how can we use these packages?  Well, you tell us.  We've done packages for hydronic heat using our "hybrid" system, combining condensing and non-condensing boilers.  Or two stage fired boilers and a storage tank for domestic use.  How about a condensing boiler pre-piped with a plate & frame heat exchanger for a true condensing pool heater that will last twenty years?  Anything you can imagine, we can provide.  And the best part is you won't be hiding the extra panel from the wife!
