Customer was having major uneven heating problems.We disconnected one boiler serving west wing and put complete house on main boiler ECR 299.Added vents throughout house and on mains .Boiler is running of tekmar control and so far customer is delighted with upgrade.King valves were installed to clean out boiler.Big thanks to @Hatterasguy for his invaluable input and suggestions.

    I was hoping you would share with the class......
    So the numbers are right there, in the open.

    Was it less than 33%?

    Well OK.........

    25.5%

    You are welcome to tell certain people that it heats the building just fine.

    How's the other job with the smaller boiler doing? That one had what, 10%?
