Trianco Heatmaker II Problem

My heatmaker is working OK, but it seems to have a clicking sound coming from it on a regular basis. Also, it seems to start and stop quite often at times (like every 30 seconds). I had a repair guy come in because it was leaking and he replaced the diverter valve for about $400 (including labor). I have experienced the above problems since that time and have been reluntant to call him back. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks for any help.

I think you have a boiler, and you'd get more professional responses by reposting in that forum just above this one.

I noticed in search engine search that under 'Trianco Heatmaker diverter' request, our own DIY forum came up with topic in our archives.

Basement finishing. Advice on combustion air

ty163 on Aug 29, 2009

Hello All I am in the planning stages of finishing my basement and I was wondering what the requirements for combustion air for my furnace an water heater are. The furnace and water heater will be in the same partitioned off room. My house is a 3 year old colonial 2 story 1000sf basement space 8-900 will be finished 95% effieciency gas furnace 8.5 gpm tankless water heater both are direct vented The room size I am making for them is roughly 13 x 12 Do they still need another source of combustion air, and is there a minimum for how close the appliances can be to the partitioned.Read More

How to heat my shop?

D

I have a 45' X 30' X 10' Morton pole barn that I plan on heating this winter. I live in central Illinois. I plan on insulating it well. We live in the middle of town and there is very little wind. Here are some other items to consider: - My house has natural gas service and I've decided that I want it to "fuel" my shop heat solution. (no electric/wood/lp) - The shop also doubles as our only garage, so 1/3ish of the building will be used as a place for our 2 vehicles. (I'll post a diagram once I get home tonight to give you a visual). - Our dog lives here (so I'll need constant heat, I'm not real sure but I think 55ish would be more than enough when the humans are not there). - No need to have quick heat when I go out to work (the speed to get an additional 5 to 10 degrees higher than the "dog" temperature is not important/radiant is OK). - I'm cheap. My current thought is to get a radiant tube heater (natural gas) and position it near the workspace end of the shop. The SUV/Truck space doesn't need to be "hot" because we'll likely be in that space for short periods of time, and as long as they vehicles can thaw overnight when the snow gets heavy, that will be enough heat for me. My outstanding questions are: How big of a heater do I need? I've looked at several BTU calculators and they vary wildly based on the inputs (low temp factor being the largest input variant). If I position a radiant heater on one half of the building how well will the heat transfer to the other half? I don't have a lot of experience with radiant heaters. I know positioning is key so any suggestions on where and at what angle/direction would be appreciated! Is radiant tube/natural gas the right solution? Thanks! (I'll post the diagram tonight)Read More
