One very over looked item !

@ May 6, 2013 8:46 AM in What's the proper order for oil to gas conversion?

Seems the more I see these the more I see one over looked problem, That's cleaning of the boiler , these need to scrub down and cleaned out, good wire brushing , and checking chambers, or you Will see just how expensive converting will cost.

2107

@ October 22, 2012 8:26 PM in 2107 logamatic with taco ZVC

wire all your zone as normal but power the the zone controler from 63 terminal from the 2107 , this will allow for warm weather shut down, the warm weather shut down can be ajusted as needed. come set at 63*. the only set back if you have power steeling t-stats, they will be depowered .

Wet and dry core drill,

@ October 20, 2012 11:52 AM in Boring holes

Got this on line about 6 yrs ago, it was a reman no name risk LOL, but it has worked flawlessly. 3x16 wet core, will drill a hole thru a 8"concrete wall in 5 mins or less, it take me longer to set up than drill the hole. best part is i am not the opposing force on a hammer drill ;-)

Hi Paul,

@ July 7, 2012 1:32 PM in Steam Boiler Changeout- Estimating Fuel Cost Savings

I go with Steamhead, i wont put in a log burner for gas, only wet based oil blocks with the carlin E-Z gas, avg about 84% eff compared to 79 to 80

What is the boiler and model ??

@ July 7, 2012 1:24 PM in target wall or not?

 All the infomation i got from your post was you have a F-5  there is no way to guess what you need based on that !!! Some boilers dont require a chamber. The buderus and others have  no chamber and dont need one if properly set up.

Here, here...

Air inlet damper

@ April 12, 2012 1:25 PM in Beckett pump coupling

i belive those were recalled about 15 to 20 yrs ago, They would stick shut and plugged the boiler up with wet sloopy soot, never leave one in.
