Meaningless

@ January 31, 2012 4:38 PM in Oil vs NG

If you're burning the gas in a mod/con,these comparisons are meaningless,the efficiency difference makes the discussion pointless

I've had the same issues with 1/2" baseboard zones, put them on constant pressure and they work great

Is that 150?

@ January 4, 2012 3:31 PM in How to Value a Fuel Oil Business

150 accounts or 1500?

Don't

oversize the boiler! There are fudge factors in the software,so that 55K is actually more like 35 or 40K. If you feel the need for more DHW,go with a larger indirect  or keep it at a higher temp and mix it down. Or both

Great Article!

Do you think it's a secret that NG is 35% cheaper than oil? That's right here in  Long Island NY, the largest oil heat market in the country. BTW,all those gas boilers cold start with no problems!

Gas

Been out since September,I believe Patriot Supply bought all the inventory. Never installed one of their gas burners but never heard a bad thing about them

Ironic

@ December 8, 2011 5:13 PM in Question for homeowners

Ironic that Ms Dowd quotes Ed Schlossberg,who happens to be married to Caroline Kennedy,who does her share in providing grist for the mill

I don't worry

@ December 7, 2011 5:17 PM in Question for homeowners

I don't worry about stuff like this,you can't please everybody and you're not going to get every job anyway. Use the tools you need to do the job properly,be sincere and let the chips fall where they may

You are incorrect in regards to baseboard and condensing boilers

Huh?

@ November 29, 2011 4:51 PM in Triangle Tube PE110 problems

They know there is an an issue and instead of notifying wholesalers and replacing these bad MCBA with new ones before sale,they sell the boilers as is to unsuspecting contractors who then sell them to unsuspecting homeowners and both have to be subjected to this? And of course this will happen over a 3 or 4 day holiday weekend when the manufacturers and wholesalers are enjoying time with their families while the afflicted contractors/homeowners wait until Monday for parts/support!

I think you are wrong about the tax credit applying to the fossil fuel portion.

It's steam,the upper gauge glass cock is visible as well as the tapping for the missing lower cock. It's worth 16 cents/lb here
