Best Of

Jamie Hall, please refer to my comment at 4:08 pm.

To all of you saying stop complaining, I realize others have it worse. Asking to have a dwelling in reasonable temperature parameters is not out of line. It’s a matter of ethics and general respect for the living conditions of human beings. If living in 80 degree temperatures is acceptable to you, then you’re welcome to adjust your own thermostat. Or, put your money where your mouth is and let’s trade houses.

I clearly asked for help with understanding the mechanisms of a boiler system with radiators and when repair is necessary. I did not ask for your opinion on what I should find acceptable.
I have everything documented from the last two years. Thought I’d save myself some research time by consulting experts. Didn’t realize this was The View for some people.

And, yes, both Eds seem to be redundant.

Thank you mattmia2 for the relevant commentary.

It’s not section 8 housing, but thank you for revealing your bias.

It’s amazing how I came here for advice relevant to a heating system and got the clicky preteen treatment for free from some of you.

This must be the highlight of your week. Inviting others to ask questions about heating and putting them down because you can’t help but assert your opinions outside of the subject. I’ve never known people worth while that practice behavior like that. You must feel so big.

Cheers

Sorry but no it wont. The transformer only supplies power to the relay.

Ed's blanket solution is the fastest, cheapest fix to this problem if closing the valve doesn't do anything. My opinion only!

Like Bounty paper towels. They sell regular, doubles triples. Compared to what??

Agree that HPWH have a way to go in my opinion. I don't think a GHWT is that bad yes there is flue gas loss. I used to shut the one off at my house when I went on vacation I would turn it to pilot and the water was still warm a week later with no one drawing on it.

Electric is better at holding heat but with higher operating cost.

I see nothing wrong with an indirect. You supposed to maintain temp in the indirect not the boiler.

Reminds me of how far back our little group here goes. Life is very good with friends… And friends who share our interests and values are golden. Thank you Dan for bringing us all together a lifetime ago.
