Hi - I am new to the forum but I am hoping someone maybe be able to assist. Approximately, four months ago I replaced an old Hydra Therm NG boiler with a new buderus ga144 and an indirect hw heater. The old boiler was running fine but it was well past its prime (about 50 yrs old). For the first three months everything with the new boiler was great but over the last 4 weeks I have been getting a lot of condensation dripping back down the flue. This boiler is in my basement and is vented up through an exterior brick chimney. At the time of the install we put in a new stainless steel liner. The old boiler never had this issue. I am not sure what I can do here.
I do notice that the Beckett aquasmart has an economy feature that will lower the high water temp automatically. This winter has been mild so far in new England so many times the high water temp will only be at 160 or so. Any chance that turning this off and going back to 180 degree high water temp would help?
