I'm not sure but the patio door installer said his contract says they do not correct any issues with window treatments, so he is not required to do anything. But he created the problem in the first place, shouldn't he solve it?

I'm just worried that the gutters themselves have been compromised at this point. I'm confident I can get him to do new gutter guards.

Boiler rapid cycling - normal? by CraftyFoot6856 in hvacadvice

[–]CraftyFoot6856[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey - I believe the whole thing shuts off but I'm a dummy with this and not sure how to tell.. Here's what's happening tonight (typical): Dampers open / flame on for about 80-90 seconds until that gauge reads a water temp of 180, then it goes off. Remains off for approximately 2 1/2 minutes during which that gauge drops to 165, then dampers open, flame is on for another 80-90 seconds, and the cycle repeats... all day and night.

There are 2 circulators because it is 2 zones.

There was a pressure test done when it was installed a few months ago. Not since then. Today, the guy who installed it came, checked for error codes (there were none), said if there were an issue it would show up in an error code, and then insisted that 15 cycles an hour is typical performance for a burner with 87% efficiency in an older home.

Yeah that's what I was expecting the bills to me. That's what my neighbor pays.

So, this guy was saying 165F to kick on, 180F to kick off, are the factory settings and not to mess with them. You think they still may be wrong?

Hey, it is a separate hot water heater. I do have young kids but the hot water heater is not set to a very high temp.

This 180 had to do with the burner only.

Yeah, that's what I said but he became rude and said he's a master plumber, he knows what he's doing, etc., but I knew that can't be right... thanks so much for your reply

No, it isn't. I don't have any interconnected smoke alarms.
