This is the oldest commercial building in our Village. It was Built in 1894. Held up with old poplar posts, but in very good shape. This Cast Iron held out for 130 years, but finally blew out this week.

Re: Minisplit minimum outdoor temp question

LG has 2 single zone models with ratings at -30f. you can wait another year and the tech will probably make its way to more configurations, these are both small units, but still higher output at 17f

Re: Minisplit minimum outdoor temp question

Says +5-+55 deg for heating. I would guess 5 degrees is the lowest temp that is practical for heating

And reason why i went with this boiler is because I read somewhere that owner perform maintenance and it is very easy to work with. But now it seems opposite.

Thank you for providing this picture. When you go ahead and installed it, can you then take another picture so that I can see how it is this sitting on your end? This tab that should lock this silencer, for me it is just not lining up at all.

Re: Water trickling sound in hydronic baseboards- please help

Usually the coin air vent at the top of the system will work if the pump is operating or if the pump is off. So you can try it either way. There are some instances where operating the pump is better and other instances where operating the pump is problematic. Every system is different. Example below:
