    Our journey begins with the nuanced task of "Thermostat Settings Adjusted." Delve into the intricacies of optimizing temperature control, understanding the impact of precise thermostat adjustments on overall comfort and energy efficiency. Follow along as I share insights into the considerations and fine-tuning required for an HVAC system to function seamlessly.
    Next on the agenda is the meticulous task of "Domestic Hot Water Boiler Inspection Corrections Made." Explore the world of boiler inspections, learning about the critical details and adjustments needed to ensure the safe and efficient operation of a domestic hot water system. Gain valuable insights into the importance of routine maintenance and corrections to address potential issues.
    The narrative takes an unexpected turn as we encounter a colossal challenge- "Ultimately Not Working on the Giant 125HP Triple Pass Steam Boiler." Journey through the complexities of handling a powerhouse like the 125HP boiler, understanding the unique considerations and problem-solving approaches required for such industrial-scale systems.
    Our adventure doesn't conclude there, as we shift gears to address a pressing issue- "A No Heat Call Due to a Steam Boiler Being Off on Manual Reset High Limit." Unravel the intricacies of troubleshooting a steam boiler, particularly when faced with a manual reset high limit situation. Witness the diagnostic process and the steps taken to restore heat promptly and efficiently.
    Through this comprehensive narrative, my aim is to offer a glimpse into the dynamic and diverse challenges that define a day in the HVAC world. Whether you're a seasoned professional seeking relatable experiences or a curious enthusiast eager to understand the intricacies of HVAC work, this storytelling promises an engaging and educational journey through the twists and turns of a day packed with diverse tasks and challenges. 🌡️🔧

    Amazing to me that Honeywell (and now Resideo) are still making many of these replacement parts for aging boiler tech... AND that they're nearly identical to the originals!

      The some of the replacement parts Honeywell offers that use bimetallic switches are not as good as the old mercury switches. We buy up the mercury ones whenever new old stock show up for sale. The mercury ones last decades.

    You have never lived until you have to crawl into the combustion chamber of a three story marine type boiler and rebuild the refractory brickwork, then crawl into the steam chamber and rattle the tubes to the mud drum and water drum. Horrible work but oddly satisfying when the inspector gives you the green light to light the burner and start building steam again.

    I have stewardship over a pair of 125HP low pressure steam scotch marine 3 pass boilers similar to that. North American Mfg. And also the system they’re connected to. There’s something primally satisfying standing there when they’re both at high fire

    8:57 if you unscrew that little bushing looking fitting all the way at the bottom it will drain. when you get a glass gauge replacement kit that gauge cock should always go on the bottom. the other (top) gauge cock will not have that bushing. the issue with the slow filling after draining is that bottom gauge cock is likely partially clogged which i think you mentioned. likely due to not being drained often enough by the super. you can unscrew the packing nut on the gauge cock and the whole handle comes out and you can use one of the 2 copper rods protecting the glass to snake in and out of the fitting to clear it out. usually isn't a big deal, worst case scenario may need to throw some teflon on it if it leaks after putting back together. no need to drain the boiler completely; if you fully open the blowdown valve below it will create enough vacuum that you won't have any water coming out. 30 seconds and you're done

    Nice to see the opposite side of the spectrum from the boilers I've worked on. My own house has a Burnham IN4 that's on it's way out and even that boiler is 2x the size that it needs to be. We have to increase the EDR of the system to match up to the smallest boilers they make. It's a horrible installation, done in copper pipe and all of the solder has left all of the joints. Waiting until the end of heating season to install a Megasteam 288 with a Carlin EZ-Gas (I know it voids the warranty but it's my own house and I really would like a 3 pass with a power gas burner). 3 inch drop header, dual 2 inch risers from the boiler, king valves, return valves, etc. My tiny system has 2 2 inch steam mains. That tiny boiler weighs 605 pounds, wouldn't like to have the job of moving that huge thing. Even the tiny MST288 has to be assembled in place in the basement. Looking forward to having a power burner again, like my old house, and not the dumb inefficient atmospheric. Makes a nice sound, I can tune it with my Testo 310 and not have an insane amount of excess air. Just wish I could have a dual fuel oil/gas burner that small but that's not happening.

    Not trying to 1-up you or anything, but it is kind of funny to see how only working in certain classes only shows you a certain level of equipment size. We've got 3x 1000 HP steam boilers for building cars. They're nothing the likes of power gen or marine boilers, but they're some of the largest package unit boilers ever made AFAIK. Not to mention our 180 HVAC units you can walk in 😅.
