Anyone familiar with this instrument? Is it worth having to learn with? Doesn't do CO or CO2; just oxygen, smoke and stack temp. Unit I'm looking at needs a new O sensor, so the package will run around 150 bucks or so when repaired.. Or, should I get a clean, used wetkit for a lot less?

O2 sensors only last 1-3 years, if in use or not. For personal use, I'd get the wet kit.

Boilers - Home Heating Steam and Hot Water Systems
Need Boiler Advice

kjhoffman on Oct 28, 2006

I recently noticed a small leak (water) around my oil fired Weil Mclain boiler. It was small enough that I thought it was rain from recent storm that found its way down chimney, but after a few days the puddle was slightly bigger. I called my local oil co, and they sent service person to look it over. He said it was a leak in boiler and that it would need to be replaced. I was not home and he spoke to my wife so I dont know exactly what was said. The oil co sent salesman, and he quoted me "about 5000" (again to my wife). So ..I need some input, is this leak common, and does it mean the entire boiler needs to be replaced ? In the meantime I have scheduled 2 other companies to come and give me an estimate for the job. I have a 2 story 3000 sf home, only about 12 years old. It is 5 zones, baseboard heat. I am in northern nj so the winters are cold. Is there any manufacturer I should lean towards ? Would it make sense to just replace with exact same model ?Read More

Cold Start vs Hot Start ??

I have a natural gas 3 zone hydronic baseboard heat system. It is not used for hot water - I have a separate hot water tank. Question is that I noticed even on warm days that the boiler always fires to maintain a temp about 180 deg. even though there is no call for heat. Is it wise to change this so that the furnace fires only if there is a call for heat? Thanks GeneRead More
