Puzzling me!

And,depending on where you are, last winter wasn't as cold as this one.

Puzzling me!

I have a customer that had a 19 year old boiler replaced in March of 07 with a Baxi 310 boiler, with two zones. They have Caleffi zone valves. Her complaint is that the first floor zone is not heating above 63 degrees. I was there to check the boiler and found that the zone is in fact heating. The supply and return are both hot, I can feel the heat coming off the baseboard. She even vaccumed while I was there. I replaced a T87F with a Honeywell digital, and still has the problem. I am puzzled, her boiler of 19 years heated the zone without any problem, she says the Baxi heated fine last season. She has plenty of baseboard in the space to do the job. Any ideas ?

measure

the supply temperature going out to the baseboard, and measure the return temperature. Assure you have good flow.

it heated fine before? No other changes? How many feet of baseboard on the 3.4 zone?

Probably

Because the Baxi's highest supply temp possible is 185*. The old boiler's limit was probably higher.

Check the infastructure itself. any bad windows, open vents, etc. I know that is what hammering me (bad windows) but since I'm handicapped and no money then... I'll make due.

Windows

Not to Hi Jack the thread, but Tekkie you can do a lot to help a bad window situation with window treatments. They are not near the cost of a new window, and do wonders to deter heat loss from the window. I prefer the cellular style shades with room darkening fabric.


This is not to say its a better option then a new window. But for the financially strapped it is an option with results. If you can't afford window treatments then a blanket will do the trick over the window.
