We have (2) of the 2500 units.In our smaller shop we use it between 600-800 hours per year, and in our larger shop,we use it between 3500-4000 per year.
We annualy have the burners "rebuilt" ($350-$400) and quarterly clean the "24" tubes in each unit, clean out both the tank filters and the burner filters, clean the contacts and injector etc. We have a very minimal amount of trouble since we have designated one of our inhouse people to do the maintenance on the unit.
Our contact for our units is out of Portland, Oregon. American Equipment Company
1-800-233-2425 1-503-283-4074. We also have a local contact who lives in the area, so if needed he comes by when we have a problem which is rarely.
Depending on where you are and how much you use the unit, you may have to clean it more often or less often.
