    Great video, basically the same way I run my pre-season checks. Always some debate about how one tech will do things their own way or words used to describe things. One thing I have found critical is adjusting the gas valve to re-check with a monometer manifold pressure. Technical support has typically been more critical that manifold pressure stay 3.5" on that style boiler and this is over O2 readings so far as they are within specification. Mass save and others in my area are under 100 ppm but the factory is under 400ppm which seems excessive but that is how they roll. But again a great video.

    Nice work as usual. I'm amazed on the number of people that don't insulate their steam pipes. Also, some of her banging can be related to this. As it was explained to me, a significant portion of the banging in pipes is due to steam condensing to water and the smashing into elbows. Just my 2cents

    Hello Mikey Pipes - thank you for your informative videos. They are most appreciated. I'm like this homeowner - I make every effort to understand how things work in my home so I can do best practices up keep. I'm wondering if you have a hot water boiler [hydronic boiler] where you go through everything like you did in this video. I'm really trying to fully understand these boilers because I'm told I need a new one and I want to fully understand and how to upkeep to ensure if /whenI get a new boiler I'm doing the best upkeep to prolong the life of the boiler.I'm searching your videos to see if you have detailed one. Thank you for assisting me with this if you have a video for this type.

    Good content. I’m a fellow plumber and I’m actually really interested in how the philanthropy donations work; and really more as to how you delegate those funds is it a case by case thing where you have a reserve of funds to use when feel like you need to correct a hazardous situation or like an elderly couple with medical expenses that can’t afford a water heater? I really like the idea and would consider doing this as well.

    As "Murphy Law" would have it, the one year I tried to save money ( high oil prices) I dont have a service contract, I am having an issue with the boiler. I have a Peerless burner. Label model lists "EC 03-06" but I dont know which specific model I have. Currently the PSI level is 2 lines past the 10 mark. The VXT water feeder reads 37.8. With that said my issue is the sight glass is full. At the back of the boiler is where (in the past) i was instructed to drain to remove dirty water. Thus far Ive removed about 3 buckets of water. Not only has the water level in the glass not gone down but after the removal of water, the automatic water feeder kicks in ( to add more water?). Ive turned down the thermostat for 24 hours to avoid the burner running in hopes Id see the water level in the sight glass drop; no such luck. Now I'm terrified if the burner kicks on I am going to have huge problems 😢

      @@PipeDoctor your vent connector size would be determined by the total btus of individual or multiple appliances, lateral length, chimney height, single or multiple appliances, single wall or double wall connector and manufacturer installation instructions. If it was a single appliance then the entire venting system would be considered a “vent” and if there were multiple appliances (such as in this case) then the lateral would be considered a “connector” and the vertical would be considered the “vent” both of which would be sized differently depending on the installation and factors previously mentioned.

      I used to like the idea of a geothermal unit until I worked in the field and found out the price of getting one installed.
      I can't in good conscience recommend a geo to anyone because of that pricing. I know the pricing varies all over the country but here around me a waterfurnace made unit by itself is about $12,000 - $15,000 depending on the size needed and then double or triple that for the loop install and burial.
      And then they claim to earn the money back with hardly using any energy but this in our area is completely false because in the winter as it runs and pulls heat from the earth it drops the freeze line down and becomes far less efficient and starts using its electric heating elements and they're quite a bit larger than most other electric heating systems and cost an arm and a leg to run. Electric bills skyrocket when this happens and is pisses people off. Lol

Come on Mikey, the customer needs to save most Stacks$$$$$$.. lol. Love you buddy, jolly good show old boy, God save the King.

      @PipeDoctor  Год назад

      Well, I could tell you the cost, but then I'd have to charge you a consultation fee. Just kidding! It really depends on the product, so let me know what you're looking for and I'll do my best to help you out.

      @@PipeDoctor hey Mikey good morning ,I was honestly looking to get a quote on converting from oil to gas but I just called your office and was told you donot do conversion during winter.

      ​@@deiselbrandfrom personal experience, I don't recommend converting during the winter. I did just this and the trouble it caused doubled the expense of the job. Waiting for township to approve permits,review and approve the work - even in am emergency situation.... unpredictable weather froZe pipes and most radiators broke. I got water leaks everywhere and had to replace, not only broken rads, but ceilings and floors from the water damage.
      Do it off season. Good luck!

    any time you see melted insulation or plastic bushing on top the water heater, from spill out, downdraft or backdraft, ask the homeowner if they have a whole house fan or run window fans blowing out. many times they do and don't have enough makeup air windows open or they start shutting windows and leave the fan/s on.
    my own water heater here got cooked plastic from just that occurring, all the windows were open and two fans blowing out on second floor, someone closed most of the windows and didn't turn fans off. 🙄🤬🤬🤬💩

      Thanks for sharing your experience! It's important to be aware of the potential risks and take necessary precautions when it comes to our water heaters.

    Yea it is always the little dogs that are so damn annoying You figure she would put the dog in another room. So it would shut the hell up and stop barking. I wouldn't want to hear that the whole time I'm there.
