This is why you need to flush the heat exchanger and vacuuming alone isn’t enough. If you don’t flush out all the combustion debris the water tubes will fill up limiting the heat output and blocking the condensate. @… https://t.co/4nYZ4oOVEH

It’s amazing this worked as long as it did. I mean look at that ignitor, how was that thing sparking! @ West Roxbury, Massachusetts https://t.co/jG4GgEqpmU

Still working!! lochinvarcorporate Knight boiler from 2009 getting most likely it’s first cleaning. I was shocked to see this boiler still working when I pulled the burner. The knight uses dual flame rectification… https://t.co/U1plRLkMpF

Cleaned up this nice lochinvarcorporate Knight install last night. Some boiler rooms are so nice they feel like living rooms. I would definitely have a nice recliner in here watching the mechanicals do their thing.… https://t.co/6jdHkCiOp1

This magnetic app from danfossheating is very cool!! It uses the magnetic sensor built into the phone to detect the magnetic field of a running ECM pump. https://t.co/FffRRHc4cA

Surprisingly this lochinvarcorporate Knight boiler cleaned nicely with just water. I find the LP boilers to get dirtier faster. This WHN110 was 3 years old, if the customer waited another year I don’t think it would… https://t.co/96EwI4kf2r

RIP Fan! lochinvarcorporate Knight boiler from ‘09 finally had problems. Pretty resilient boiler. Preventative maintenance would have saved this fan and kept up the efficiency. @ Nantucket, Massachusetts https://t.co/3aALEgE35y

Used the axiom_hydronics Clean F Steel on this lochinvarcorporate Knight boiler. I was very happy with how it worked to get the hardened deposits off. Use rubber gloves 🧤 with this product, stuff stings a bit in… https://t.co/AEH8GvuaZs

Upgraded my water test kit last week. @Fernox put together a nice little kit to test the water chemistry in a hydronic system including the inhibitor. Testing system water is a critical step to the longevity of a… https://t.co/SOO9SFMnH1

Got another @usboiler Freedom cleaned up last week. I find these boilers very challenging to get fully clean. There is no way to get to the bottom of the heat exchanger unless you actually remove it from the cabinet,… https://t.co/JMHacOn373

Having a check out procedure is key to a successful boiler cleaning. I created this ‘Check-Out’ guide to double check my work and ensure I don’t miss or forget anything. You can download a customizable copy from my… https://t.co/loyYxLnPjc

[TheBoilerSmith @TheBoilerSmith]

Had the chance to clean up a @usboiler Freedom boiler. This was a first for me and judging by the condition of the burner it was a first for the boiler as well. Not a lot of room to work inside the heat exchanger… https://t.co/6dvEyGdytH

Just finished up a start up on this beautiful lochinvarcorporate Knight installation. The homeowner wanted the ability to get notified if something went wrong so we installed the Con-X-Us remote connect board. Now… https://t.co/kTWPs815a0

It’s been a little bit since I have given a shout out to @ChapmanMFGTools but I really love this little ratchet. Unchanged since the 30’s they say! Pick yourself up one, I use it on every single boiler cleaning. @… https://t.co/X80WazxOeJ

Another @usboiler Alpine all cleaned. I really enjoy cleaning these boilers when they are wall hung. Ignitor and flame sensor were replaced and the heat exchanger shined up nicely. The nylon wheel brush for the drill… https://t.co/4ih0j5asL1

[TheBoilerSmith @TheBoilerSmith]

No heat call from the other night. This @HTProductsInc Pioneer was giving a Flame Fail error code. Gas Pressure ✅ Spark ✅ Air Intake ✅ Gas Valve ✅ Normally at this point I would swap out the flame sensor but I… https://t.co/0t6Fcb63gq
