Re: Replace Steam Boiler vs Convert to Hot Water
Ditto to what Bob said. FYI, good hot water pros are also hard to find. Has anyone done a heat loss calculation? Absolutely necessary for hot water heating
Re: Cooling with basement air?
Give the customer what they want. Just make sure you make allowances for adding AC in the future so that it's easily done.
Re: Do you set up your hot water storage tanks properly?
I don't know, no expert on recirc loops, but wondering, assuming the tank would be the source, so as long as the loop was circulating and being used I'm not sure how much bacteria would grow in the recirc loop. When it returned to the tank anything that did start to grow would die.
However I think if a building or hotel, whatever was down for more than a few days then you'd have to assume you've got bacteria throughout the system.

Re: Residential Fire Sprinklers

Re: RPZ drafting symbol?
EzzyT - Thank you! The bottom drawing is pretty much what I gave them but they said it wasn't good enough. Piotr Zelasko is doing a CAD drawing of my piping schematic. Thanks again for the effort.
Re: For steamhead
It's up to the company that does it right to explain why they are more, and that was sarcasm, they have alternatives, it's up to the consumer to be an educated consumer, if all they do through life is buy cheap, have problems and keep buying cheap they have a learning disability.
There are countless resources for them on the net including reviews of companies, Angie's List, their state govt, licensing, etc etc etc etc, they can make an effort.

Throwback
A throwback Milwaukee Sawzall.
It works well but I doubt I'll ever use it.
Looks great on a shelf though.
