House won't heat

This would have nothing to do with it unless the boiler was firing the whole time!

Again, his insulation value has nothing to do with it since the boiler cycles on the internal thermostat.

That's fine and dandy to make the home more efficient, but there could be several reasons for the boiler to fail to heat the structure.

But damn, you couldn't even answer my test question (about boilers) in the Pro's group...there were many answers that could have been the one...but you failed to reply with ANY of them.

Like always, you are a CLUELESS HACK!

WTF, if it's cycling raise the temp??????

IF it's cycling...the system is already unable to give off the amount of heat the boiler is producing!!

You may call that normal, I call it that you either have a system that is failing, or the unit is to small for the structure!

Your system is under pressure and water will not boil at 212. You should be at apx 12lb cold . I dont know what boiling point is at higher temps but 200 wont hurt the system, call the boiler manufacturer. Did you ever try bleading the radiators yourself? That is your first step. And be sure water level is correct

It sounds like your radiators are undersized if you bleed each one of air. More insulation in the attic and better windows and insulating shades and curtains would be your best option. R 60-80 attic+ will help. Cellular shades are R3.3 it will double LowE Argon values. Curtains and liners will also help alot. R35 attic is Minimum code Chicago, Minimum is minimum.

Oh god! Ransley.........I cant believe your stupid ass. You think that water in the boiler wont boil because its under pressure? Wrong. When you get the limit setting near 200 you get very close to boiling the water. First of all, those controls arent real accurate. Setting it at

200 or 210 will pretty much just about get the water boiling. 12 lbs is also NOT some magic freakin number that boilers get set at. They are all different. It is the height of the highest radiator. Have you ever seen what a boiler does when it starts boiling in a hot water boiler (not steam)? The boiler actually starts jumping on the floor. It can get very violent and very destructive. Your webtv advice is enough to get someone hurt or destroy perfectly good working equpiment. Pick another topic you know something about. Bubba

Oh mg Bubaass water under pressure wont boil at 200 you moron. And Weil Mc Lain a company youve probably never heard about works as manufacturers instruction at 12 lb cold with radiators 33 ft up , you really should learn about equipment before you post BS . Try instaling a few, My tech instaled it, set it right, just as the old unit was 12lb cold. its obviously not a job for you, you have obviously never worked on a 3 story house 10ft ceilings with full basement 8 ft ceilings. Go hack em in today Bubbaass

Yeah, right, Im the moron and you cant even post without double posting. And you're still a retard if you're just automatically setting a 3 story at 12psi. I dont think you know how to read a manual and I noticed you paid no attention to the math I showed you. Go figure. Oh thats right. Its webtv. Total f*ck-wit. Why dont you just hang a sign on you that says, "Kick Me". Weil McClain set point..........hehehe. You're killin me man, yur killin me. Bubba

This isn't going to make a difference. as long as the burner cycles he is getting all the heat he can. one thing to do is make sure all of the radiators are clean and not plugged with dust. also make sure the space in front of them is open and the carpet isn't too high underneath them causing restricted air flow.
