Burnham V84 and Contender indirect ( Ron Jr.)

Scott Larabee

Very nice job Ron!
Amazing what a few years of neglect will do to a boiler.
The only question I have for you is why did you run the feeder into the return piping rather than at the expansion tank?
The only other thing I see that I would have done differently is I would have put a thermal switch on that 4" box on the ceiling. Not required in NY, but, IMO cheap insurance!

This install was in Mount Sinai , NY

A good 50 miles from the shop . Although you might see some of our service tags , they haven't been an account of ours for a few years . Looks like they went COD for those few years . A not so old Utica boiler and Bock heater , both were ripped out .

Very nice working conditions

We had Bilco doors into a wide open basement . The system was in a smallish room , but we had space a plenty .

Just curious what you did after lunch? I'll bet the homeowner will be happy to go back to a company that offer's awsome service now!!....Keep up the excellent work.

As usual!

another of Ron's excellent installs.Too bad the salesman didn't do his job as well as Ron did his.A single pass boiler?Oversized? L4081B?With different equipment or at the least properly sized or a different control strategy this could have been a much more efficient setup.

Actually , Robert

Good points you bring up . The homeowner told our salesman he was going to upgrade the control system in the near future to some brand of outdoor reset . It'll be maintaining 160 degrees till that time ( we showed the homeowner how to increase the boiler temp if it gets real cold out ) . The decision to use the dual aquastat was mine , due to line voltage t-stat issues .

The 3 section might've been marginal for this home . I'm guessing over 3000 sq ft including the semi-finished basement .

Thanks Robert .

This system was a mess

I was ready to go a few rounds with the fluepipe alone , it was so hard to disconnect around all the sloppy piping . We left plenty of room on the right side to get to the chimney and cleanout plates on the boiler .

Thanks alot guys .

I've found the trick

to getting a good servicing is making the system easy to service to begin with . We walk in on systems that have pipes across the back of and on top of fluepipe . To get it apart you have to be part magician , part raging bull .

It is nice to get a job like this once in a while . On paper , we thought we were screwed . Typical Friday monster job . But this went smooth as silk .

Thanks lchmb and Mike .

Scott and Scott

We pipe the feed into the return to purge the system with hot water . Which cleans the system of pipe dope and sediment and helps us know the zones are fully purged . And also we've been having trouble on those jobs we pipe the PRV directly into the air eliminator . When we use the fast fill the air eliminator will shoot out a good stream of water . It ain't no big deal , just shut the cap till we're done . But I'm not sure if it does any internal damage .

Thermal switches are not required , and to be honest , I've never seen one installed into a boiler's wiring in my 21 years in the business . We often see a thermal switch connected to the home's security system . A firomatic valve is required on the oil line .

Thanks guys , I really appreciate the kind words .

Nice Job

Ron, Thank God, Big Blue & Green have excellent installers like you that do first class work.

Nic Job Ron

The equipment you replaced doesn't look that old but it sure was neglected either by the owner or servicing tech. I sure hope they take better care of the new equipment given the work you guys put into it.
