I took the pump apart again. There was some scuzz clogging the fins of the impeller on one side causing the whole thing to be unbalanced when rotating. I cleaned it up and put it all back together....

I have a Burnham Alpine 150 with a Taco 0014-F1 as the system pump on the primary loop as spec'd in the install manual. The pump is approximately 2 years old. In the past week or so the pump has...

I have the same boiler as you and had been working on the same readings you are. I bought this:

And found...

Did the place you bought the new module from sell them preprogramed for your specific model boiler? Or is it a repair unit like mine?

Can you give us more details? I have the same unit and I've spent a lot of time tweaking it.

How many zones?
What type of radiant heat?
How many feet of rad on each zone?
Do you have an...

I'll assume you mean the control module for the unit when you say MCBA board? When mine blew from a power surge during sandy (I have a 105 model), I was told by a certified Burnham tech that it would...

I've come to find that Burnham doesn't really do warranty work. They make it very hard to reach anyone that can help and then just pass you on to a list of contractors on their site to call for...

I ended up ordering this model

It should be here Monday so I'll wire it up then.

I ended up getting a new control module thurs. I ordered...

I've had nothing but problems with my Alpine 150 (I got it at a large discount when switching from oil to gas). From finding a qualified installer to install it correctly, to finding that the...

I was thinking more something like this:

My uncle is an electrician and told me he would install a surge protector...

Someone finally came to look at my Alpine. He said the control unit is fried from power surges during Sandy. He said that Burnham won't cover it under warranty and that I should have my homeowner's...

Burnham won't do anything without a certified rep diagnosing the problem and then ordering whatever parts are necessary. So I sat down with the list on contractors on their site and started calling...

Guess I spoke too soon. Woke up this morning to a semi cold house and a hard lockout code 25: Internal control failure. (Reset the control. If problem reoccurs, replace the Sage.)

Update

I spent a good amount of time over the summer working through the sandblasting, assembling, and painting of two different brands of cast iron baseboard. I took out all the fin tube (except...

I just installed a new GE dishwasher at my house and it specifically states that when you install it you have to set the feet so that there is a 3/16" gap between the top of the door when closed and...

I have an Alpine 150 and it does the same thing. I was always under the impression that it was within acceptable limits of the unit. I have the high setpoint on my DHW set to 170 so if it goes to 175...

I'll second the question in respect to the thermostat part since I have a Burnham Alpine and the same thermostats you're using. Are these the best models for the application? Are there better...

Keep in mind also that if you have mostly or all fin tube radiators that those are not the best case scenario when switching to a modcon. They're low mass and will not create a situation where you'll...

I concur. Buy the correct sized boiler for your need. It took me a long time to tweak my boiler to work the way I almost want it to since my installer sold me one that is way oversized.

I have a Burnham Alpine boiler. With that unit all the weight is held by the top bracket and the bottom one just holds it to the wall. I drilled two holes through my foundation to the outside, got...

I have a Burnham Alpine 150 with a Burnham 50 gal IHW tank piped off of the secondary loop using 1" copper. The tank has priority. My question is should I be tweaking the max fan speed on calls for...

I just installed 3 frost free sillcocks on my house which had no outside water hookups. I converted the pex to copper ~16" from where the sillcock connects so that I could strap it up either with a...

I'm replacing all the fin tube on the first floor of my house with CI baseboard this summer. I'll be connecting the copper directly to the rads. Bleeders will be installed on the upper connection on...

I have a Burnham Alpine with a 50 gal Burnham indirect tank in my cape. It's oversized by a lot. The tank really isn't a problem because as stated above the standby loss is very little. I go away...
