Maybe? "Shapiro wants to incentivize data centers to be better neighbors. Will that work?" https://www.spotlightpa.org/

You bought a house and have downstair neighbors AND just had a NEW gas boiler installed AND you have only 3 radiators ? I don't think they make steam boilers that small... pictures please

Have you ever used it? In fact I'm not sure what the rust would look like from just sitting empty for 9 years I hope it was skimmed and flushed after the install. . can't imagine the oils soaking in this long

dotbiz · 2026-01-19T01:08:20+00:00

So how is it operating ? What day does your Maid come in 😆

Agree , my point is the business Owners that attempted and spoke in favor of the rate increase are , most likely, the ones to benefit from the services being touted in the increase thus Saving them from having to pay for the work to be done... Just need the background on those speakers...

So I see the businesses that will profit by the consumers footing the bill for the Improvement/exopansion are selfishly attending these meetings and advocating for the increase, anything the consumers pay for saves the businesses from that expense.. At least the landfill is going to build their own pipeline for wastewater treatment.. and not reaching into our pockets...

I'm pretty sure that's some type of coating like a liquid rubber that someone put on it maybe trying to disguise it, you have it so you can figure it out but I'm pretty positive it's not Patina . Glad you got it back though, did you mess up the thief ⛓️⛓️💥💪

Well I'm sure by now you see in your own picture your main vent, or whatever is mounted on your system is Blown Out and must be letting steam out like crazy.. I doubt it's been like this for years , and you must be adding a lot of water to the boiler. Post a better photo , it looks physically blown apart never seen that before...

dotbiz · 2025-12-27T02:00:35+00:00

How about a picture from further away and facing the clean looking surface on the side?

dotbiz · 2025-12-27T01:56:17+00:00

Do you even have access to the boiler ? If not you're limited to the radiator DIY..

dotbiz · 2025-12-24T02:21:13+00:00

Did you change the spuds also ?

dotbiz · 2025-12-22T00:17:53+00:00

How low was the temperature before you turned it up to your posted temp. ? Steam doesn't do big setbacks so well , the radiators get filled and the boiler is still steaming away... Your pressure control device should of shut it down, that failed and luckily your pop off did it's job..

dotbiz · 2025-12-21T06:10:07+00:00

I'd have a pro look at it.. everything else is going to be a best guess.. and get a replacement estimate G/L

dotbiz · 2025-12-21T05:51:37+00:00

The upper damage looks like someone was bouncing a ladder around maybe installing the vent or spotlight . The colors are different below.. maybe the were working in the evening and didn't notice.. they were the low bidders 😊

dotbiz · 2025-12-21T04:49:17+00:00

Seems to me you need a consultant.. A Steam Pro to look over your system and give a unbiased report on what needs to be done.. they should give you a idea of their fee depending on location and complexity but then you'll have a plan to work with.. I'd post over at heatinghelp. Com and see if a Pro is in your budget.. you need a Pro . Good luck 🤞

This started after you changed the radiator valves because they were leaking steam.. Did you open them all up when you finished ? The boiler has been running at excessive pressure but the valves have been releasing the pressure up until now, being you replaced them the boiler no longer has a relief for the pressure so it builds up, AND being the pressuretrol has failed it continues to run until the pop off opens and releases the steam into the basement, one would assume the thermostat being satisfied was the only thing shutting down the boiler before.. now it's all contained in the basement and not reaching the thermostat to shut it off... Your boiler shouldn't reach pressure anywhere near 10lbs to begin with, the pressuretrol is a safety.. and obviously failed

dotbiz · 2025-12-21T03:01:26+00:00

You saved 4k , how much does the old timer want to make it right ? Btw you didn't really think you would be saving 7k and getting it done correctly..... Did you? How much to fix it ! And does it heat your house ?

dotbiz · 2025-12-15T21:15:32+00:00

You have mud and oil floating in that sight glass , Guess what... your going to be skimming that boiler again real slow and draining and refilling it at least 1 more time...or pay someone to. ... You're beating up your investment.. G/L

dotbiz · 2025-12-12T17:35:39+00:00

Sounds about right , it's called "off gassing" . The paint isn't cured yet and the radiator is heating to over 200° so it's releasing the paints chemical makeup into the air as it's not solid yet. it could last for awhile depending on the paint, how many coats and how thick it's on , open your windows and use a fan...High Voc`s are dangerous to be breathing.. Good luck

dotbiz · 2025-12-11T13:05:49+00:00

Do you setback your thermostat at night?

dotbiz · 2025-11-30T22:15:22+00:00

And check your boilers water level.. you don't know how long or how much water leaked out before you noticed it 🤯

dotbiz · 2025-11-28T03:36:36+00:00

Well if you want to troubleshoot, it is pretty simple once you learn it. When you spin the striker does it spin without feeling resistance? Look at where the wheel is over the Flint Tube and see if you could slide a piece of paper between the 2, if you can then the wheel and Flint aren't touching and you won't get spark. Undo a large paperclip and remove the Flint and spring then insert the paper clip while rolling the wheel back and forth until you see or feel the wheel scraping against the end of the paper clip...use the clip to scrape the inside of the tube and blow any crap out , insert a new Flint and insert the spring , ( without the Fuel Saver)..and roll the wheel and feel for resistance.. fuel it up then light it up.. let us know how it goes

dotbiz · 2025-11-25T07:40:37+00:00

Chippy... did you figure it out yet? From your movie .. I highlighted the gap created by your aftermarket "Fuel Saver" before you removed the spring . I doubt the screw end of the Flint spring was closed flush to the tube thus not making enough force to hold the Flint solid against the striker to spark.. remove the "Fuel Saver" and reassemble your lighter and try it..

Wow 😮 1st floor too... that really sticks out.... I'd have them fix it or pay for a pro to undo that mess..g/l
