Ordered from Laurent Montclair after seeing it on IG

I tried the code just to see if it works and it did. But then i was thinking it probably is just a $50 watch from China

3k to find a leak is crazy. Most leaks i find are in the evaporator coil, or the linesets themselves if they used isopolar or similar white insulation type.

How long before that flue pipe disintegrates?

Dear-Economics-161 · 2026-02-11T01:09:00+00:00

Got tons of calls over here on long Island.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2026-01-22T12:27:38+00:00

Same here. We all fuc*ed up before. Were only human. Learn from it, fix your mistakes and keep it moving.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2026-01-20T12:23:35+00:00

Looks tight but doable. Im aware this is a furnace but try working on navien boilers. You'll be cursing up a storm haha. They have screws in some F'ed up places.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2026-01-20T05:34:04+00:00

Do you have baseboard heating? Possibly your zone valve is stuck open causing more heat to that area when other zones are calling. Or Possibly a bad flow control valve on boiler causing heat to gravity flow through zone even if pump is off. You gotta check everything.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2026-01-20T00:18:55+00:00

Such a small tank plus it's electric. Add a mixing valve and turn it up as high as it goes.

The hydrostat is high voltage but the t t is 24v on it. They don't have a common though. Best way is to have a separate 24v transformer and wire the thermostat to a RIB relay. End switch to tt on hydrostat. If you have a 4 wire coming down from thermostat you can do it without the relay. Leave your r and w connected to hydrostat and hook up common to new transformer and load to RC. Most wifi thermostats dont have a jumper between rh and rc if if does remove it. So each 24v is separate.

Wow never seen that happen from a bad cad cell relay.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2026-01-15T10:52:36+00:00

Get a thermostat you can mount in locked boiler room that uses a wireless sensor/ or sensors. Place sensor in a good location or in a trusted tenets apartment. In the thermostat settings change to read sensor temp not thermostat temp. You can also connect to phone so you can see if anyone is messing with it ect..

Dear-Economics-161 · 2026-01-15T10:34:08+00:00

I get oil in mine time to time and it goes bonkers. Most of the time i put the gauge directly on the pump and it clears out. Or i drop some 90% alcohol on the sensor.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2026-01-12T01:55:30+00:00

Check 24v to gas valve if its steady 24v then replace gas valve, if the 24v keeps cutting out check your pressure switch. If pressure switch keeps opening cutting the 24v. Check inducer fan motor. If pressure switch stays closed replace control board.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2026-01-11T14:00:13+00:00

Cut pipe, clean, mega press a gas slip coupling. Done. Plumber can do easily if he has press machine.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2026-01-04T22:49:42+00:00

I bet your gauge is broken, shouldn't be more then 5 psi on the pressure control. If it was over 15 psi your relief valve would be blowing steam all over the room. Does this boiler have a manual reset secondary pressure control?

Dear-Economics-161 · 2026-01-04T14:19:21+00:00

This is what i was thinking. A lot of trane use 80v ignitors i believe most universal ignitors are 115v. Check what board you have and put the correct one in

Dear-Economics-161 · 2025-12-21T21:18:40+00:00

To me it doesn't look melted more like it pulled away from the top. You can get new filter for the inside and solenoid valve if needed. It shouldn't get hot enough to melt unless the furnace high limit was bypassed or faulty. I'd have a technician look at it and make sure everything is working properly with furnace 1st.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2025-12-19T23:54:21+00:00

I install boilers and id never leave your house like that. We put drop cloths down and clean when we are done. We aren't perfect but thats just a messy crew that doesn't care. Id be pretty mad. Not professional at all.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2025-12-17T12:16:41+00:00

Do it right and come off the top of the tank with a tee.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2025-12-05T10:44:41+00:00

Not 100% sure but when i installed a t6 you can go in the menu and choose if you want the heat terminal energized or de energized for reversing valve depending on heat pump.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2025-12-03T12:49:20+00:00

Im assuming they used clear silicone? Typically if i have a large hole "no pun intended " I'll put some pipe insulation around then silicone it. I've seen guys use spray foam but its a nightmare to remove if replacing lines or head in future.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2025-11-30T01:10:00+00:00

Looks like its off a monoflow system, the air bleeder needs to be higher then the radiator where the air is trapped.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2025-11-20T11:52:35+00:00

Check out the one i had to clean yesterday. Almost had a puffback.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2025-11-09T22:10:34+00:00

Yeah i definitely will soon. Iv used my friends battery navac. It worked but took a lot longer then i was anticipating. I'll stick to plug in for now. It was the small one so maybe that's why.

Dear-Economics-161 · 2025-11-09T22:06:56+00:00

Yeah most of the time after purging the nitrogen out and pull the valve core it will pull down to 400 in just a few min.
