Re: Seeking advice on new Buderus oil heating system (Westchester NY)

doughess and mxfrank: thanks a lot to both of your great suggestion.
mxfrank: I tend to use the boiler for DHW, so yes that needs to go into the heat loss calculation. I'll let you know if I end up with a good tech.

No, no it doesn't. If someone does they will again oversize your boiler. I wish people would stop spreading this misinformation.

Re: Oil fired boiler keeps cycling on and off after Nest calls for hot water baseboard heat

Most Nest problems can be solved by using something else.

Re: Rules of Thumb and Heating Formulas?

When grilling 1" thick steaks, cook 2 minutes each side for rare, 3-4 mins each side for medium-rare and 4-6 mins each side for medium.

Oh wait.
My bad.

That noise you just heard is Hot Rod's screeching truck tires heading north.

Congratulations to Dan Holohan

Tonight @DanHolohan will begin his new role as President of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of the City of New York. (Congratulations, Dad! I'm so proud of you.)

The General Society has been meeting regularly since 1785. They opened, and continue to operate, the second-oldest membership library in New York City. They also opened one of the city’s first free schools in 1820, and in 1858, after New York City founded its public school system, the society converted its school into a mechanics institute.

The General Society has since offered tuition-free education to tens of thousands of women and men working in the trades.

The General Society also hosts a lecture series that is open to all. It features twenty-four thought-provoking lectures by master artisans and experts in New York City architecture, historic preservation, literature, labor, and urban history.

You can learn more about the General Society here and support their great work here.
