Well, my the new boiler is not working right. Last repair, was because a large infeed or outfeed copper pipe developed a crack in the pipe, and the weld job the heating contractor did , didn't hold up. Muddy water leaked out of either the crack or the faulty weld. They came in to fix that. Then, they fiddled with the electronic control. They set it to ECONOMY. That's fine . But, last night, I had to turn the Boiler off at the Circuit Breaker panel, because when I tried to turn it off on the Thermostat , the Boiler would start up for 5 minutes , then shut down for 9 Minutes, Then do the same thing all over again. I turned the Thermostat down to 48 last night when the room temp was 75. I had it at 65 for the night when I noticed the 10 degree difference. After listening to it do the on off thing for about an hour, I just shut it down at the breaker.
Fast forward to today.....
Turn the boiler on at the Breaker. It seemed to work fine, but after Supper , I noticed the temp going up. Yes, I used the oven. But, that does not explain why the Boiler started doing the same thing after Supper tonight. I checked the Radiators. They are the old 1920 something American Cast Iron Radiators. None had air in them. But, the Bedrooms and the Bathroom Radiator are all stone cold. Only water comes out , no air. I turned the Thermostat in the Hall to the off position. As for Zones, I turn the Thermostat on , and all the Radiators get hot water at the same time. ( At least, they did when it was working right! )
Any idea what is causing this, and how to fix it ? The Boiler went through 3 , YES, three !! Taco Circulator Pumps in a matter of 3 Months. Burned one out after another . Repairman must have been out here 5 times so far, doing repairs on a NEW BOILER !:mad:
