The Consumer Product Safety Commission and the US boiler company are recalling U.S. Boiler, New Yorker Boiler, Advantage, FORCE and Archer brand gas-fired hot water residential boilers.  The blocked vent shutoff switch can fail with boilers installed above 5,400 feet in altitude leading to toxic levels of carbon monoxide output and poisoning of household occupants.


About 2500 of these boilers have been installed by heating and plumbing contractors nationwide between February 2009 and November 2023.


Immediately contact US Boiler by phone at 1-888-432-8887  or via email at [email protected] to schedule a free boiler repair.  If you are using these boilers before repair, you should use a CO monitor.
