Ok I have a few rentals where I am sick of oil running out. Lower income tenants. So i always bleed the system. 2 houses have steam rad heat. The other is duct. So what needs to be done to use the existing boiler? Change the guns? Should I consider new gas boilers? Any contractors interested the houses are in Montco pa. Thx

how about
automatic delivery, or someone look at the gauge once in a while?0 -
Rocket
What works too is a transmitter oil gauge ... The Rocket is one of them... A wireless system with a receiver you just plug in the wall upstairs ... Shows the level of oil , lights and beeps when the tank is about to run out ..There was an error rendering this rich post.

Riello gas burners
you can convert the boilers with a gas conversion burner but the warm air unit must be replaced.0 -
Bill and Ed
I maintain about 400 of these sec8 units. Believe me...they are not running out because they dont know the level of the tank. They know exactly where the level is.0 -
how about
lock boxes for the thermostats? Do you think gas conversion will give them incentive to conserve? Perhaps a little time in a cold house is what they need, unfortunately most don't care, as long as the tax payers pick up the tab0 -
is the heat...
included in their rent? Who pays to have the boiler/furnace serviced? I'd be having them pay an oil company to pruge the line after a delivery. That might help.0 -
