Re: Understanding heat flows in high mass heating systems in old houses
I try to put @jesmed1 on some tracks, but that train keeps bringing him back here.
Reminds me of the time I was singing on the job and a gentleman asked me "if I ever wanted to be on the Stage".
I replied "YES"
He told me "There is a stage leaving at Noon, and he would appreciate it if I was on it."
Watching too many old westerns

Re: Long term designed and supported mod-con fantasy?
For one, cars are certainly more durable then before. People will pay for quality!
Re: Need suggestion for a small, superior sump pump
Matt, you and this thing are probably the most reliable they could get. Might need a chair for part of the time. Don't where shoes and that will be the auto switch, feet wet, pump!

Re: Hydrolevel VXT
Thanks @Mad Dog_2 but you're not going to convince me that this Carlin is a good idea. I manage 4 hydronic boilers, one for 26 years on the other three for 19. In that time, on the flame side I've had to replace one gas valve and one thermocouple. That's it. The Carlin has been making my tenants cold and me miserable now for over 3 years!
Interestingly, to bring it all around, Carlin and Hydrolevel are made by the same company. Hmmm.

Re: Hydrolevel VXT
Permit me to say that it sounds as though you have a somewhat unusual arrangement, which may indeed be difficult to work on. However, throwing people under the bus (you got five in one paragraph, possibly a record) really doesn't work as well as diplomacy and patience.I did not name anyone but Jstar, and were he still around I suspect I would have a working boiler and not be ranting here. I simply told my story, after suggestions that the problem was me. Are you really not as appalled as me that a pro would walk away from a dangerous CO spewing boiler?
It's not an unusual configuration for an EZ gas Pro. Just the burner on a Smith boiler. Both installed new in 2012 by Jstar. If Carlin can only recommend one tech in an area like North Jersey with like 5 million people, doesn't that sound like a problem? Would you buy a car for which there's only one recommended mechanic in your state?

Re: Hydrolevel VXT
Basically, yes. I would write a more detailed response, but this is not the place for it.Frankly, if I were a tradesperson, I'd avoid this job like the plague...Because of the "difficult customer" who actually knows enough to know when a "pro" is full of it?
