- This lady, US Army Reserve Service member, is a real trooper! First, we thank you for your dedication to our great country.
She recently moved into this 2 family house with 2 gas boilers and water heaters. Lately, the heat hasn’t been getting up to the second floor and was under the impression to drain the system - might make it work.
I document the proper way to purge the system.
Small deficiencies with the install were resolved off camera.

I love when homeowners just break the cherry on top there’s so much more deeper things and problems that can be there that they just don’t understand good video like always mike !
I do HVAC in Indiana and we don’t see many boilers. From what I have seen of RUclips you and Steve lav do the best work by far. Keep up the good work.
I need fuzzy bunny slippers for when I need to purge my boiler. :) I got to learn the hard way how to purge my system. Pipe broke in the middle of winter and all the water pumped out, luckily the boiler didn't burn up in the process. Fixed the broken pipe, and then had to purge three zones.
Speaking of military, has Kelvin been rotated home yet? or is he still guarding the capitol against the phantom scourge?
Nice , quick diagnosis and repair and Yes, those Testo numbers look good! What causes the boiler water to turn black like that? I’ve seen brown water but not black like that! Lack of maintenance?
I love it when they try to purge their own boiler,thank God LWCs are code now!
Mikey you need to get a pair of the bunny slippers like her
Ohhh dammmmm.
I wanna know where I can buy one of those metal braided hoses you're using
Quick question- I'm a service tech that's fairly new to hydronic systems, I've primarily have delt with forced air- my question is why are you running the system while you purge? 2nd question is the feeder alway enough pressure to purge? I was taught to use a transfere pump or even hook up to a near by water heater to provide extra pressure.
Nice video as usual. Mikey Pipes, can I convert my aluminum baseboards back to cast iron radiators which some owner before me removed in a 1920s colonial. I hate this baseboard heating!!!! I'd actually appreciate anyone answering that question.
I have same problem. Heat is not going up. How much does it cost for this service? I'm in Queens NY.
Turn that pump over.. yeah your not pumping away but your get a pressure drop to remove air. At least your limit will be accurate.. good vid and thanks for then content
Hey Mikey Pipes. Can you list “all” the tools you carry in your Veto? I want to rig out a a young plumbers bag with all the tools he will need. Thank you.
@@PipeDoctor Great, that would be awesome. I’m just paying it forward, like Pete taking care of Zilla. Gotta take care of the youngins in the trades.
The boiler paramedic here!
In my house, we have our thermostat off but the tstat/circ light is solid red. How did you bypass the thermostat? so I could hopefully reverse it if its the problem
Short
She is proof that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing!
hey mike nice video! what happened to the giveaways? i wanted a chance to be your apprentice
Shout out to saint Mikey pipes the pipe doctor himself shout out for another great video
Calling it now. 200k subscribers by july 4th corona pending. Mp should host a fan bbq or potlock .
I would totally come down to LI for a fan bbq. You can charge admission!
Far Rockaway. Always liked that name.
Why are you complementing the abrasive Boston plumber ? Was it this one where you gave a shout out about him carrying all the parts on his truck and great job etc ?He just posted a retort video about you so if you haven’t seen it , perhaps now is the time.
Nice work Mike and Mr. Grown Ass Man Pants. 😂😂👍👍🇨🇦
williamson.. a name i havent seen in forever. they were top of the line back in the 50s and 60s, that one of course looks pretty new.. they mustve been gobbled up by one of the big boys..
The name was a big common name around here in SE MN. I really liked them!
@@jaymarking7854 there were lots of their forced air systems here in ohio.. its funny how the A/C design went full circle// williamson central air conditioners were characterized by a vertical 3 blade fan and the coil in the rear.. while almost everyone else was using a top fan and a surround condenser.. funny how all the new mini splits have vertical fan and rear coil.. williamson was made in ohio for awhile I believe.. my grandmother's 30 year old williamson from the 60s was still going strong when she passed in 1997..
@@eldoradoboy Both of my grandparents had them. Williamson Oil Saver, Then one of them moved to town and had a 5-in-1 installed. I grew up with A Temp-O-Matic.
Seeing the “CP” serial on it, I figured it was a Weil made unit.
Grandparents had a Williamson oil fired Temp-O-Matic lowboy furnace installed by the local Ma and Pa oil company back in ‘89.
The oil company, and my grandparents are all gone, but that furnace is still going in what’s now my mothers house.
@@erikj.2066 I was looking the other day for pictures of my grandmothers old furnace. .as a kid I remember the thing being monster sized in her basement.. it was a natural gas unit with a single burner and a bonnett for the flame. the blower was belt drive. the A/C coil was flat and vertical.. sat right next to the Monster sized Electronic air cleaner.. everything was inside the cabinet of the furnace including the humidifier. grandma used a name for it.. some kind of complete comfort system. the floor register diffusers sat oin the baseboards and were 6-10 feet long.. supposedly it was designed to have the even style heating of hot water but in a gas system. she built the ranch house in 68 with the latest greatest of everything.. even tilt-to-wash "caradco" windows.. (tilt wash windows were unheard of then)..
Hey Mikey, have you ever had to deal with a customer that doesnt pay? What's the best option?
Hey so what happen was that the issue 😳

Umm Mike. This circulator is set up correctly. That is not the supply. Look at the arrow on the casting. It is returning to the lower end of the boiler. This is how I do my installs as well. I let the pump pull. It is on the cooler side instead of the Hotter side. Pump usually lasts longer this way.
Pumping away = more circulator replacements. Smart Mikey pipes 💰
@@lancepushy7783 Hmm my Taco was installed pulling in 1984 and is still running, as well as my Grundfos pump.
@@NY411Info I think it was sarcasm. "More circulator replacements" = more work thrown to the service tech.
It’s Me !
temp well has LWC
"Oh I'm gonna be on RUclips... wait let me grab my bunny slippers"
What's up fellas
