    Check your pressure

    Make sure that your pressure is not over 24 ounces/square inch on your system. A better gauge will help, than the one installed on the boiler-(valworx.com. 0-3 psi).

    Make sure that you have big main vents for saving fuel, and achieving comfort. Slower Hoffman 40 vents should be on the rads. If you visit the Gorton website, DO NOT follow their advice willy-billy. They have great hardware, but bad software.--NBC
