I was hoping to get some help on an issue I'm having with my boiler. The boiler appears to be working in some capacity, as the radiators are warm to the touch and we have plenty of hot water.
However, the boiler isn't really cranking out the heat, and so while the thermostat is set to 68, my house is staying in the 61-64 range. At first I thought it was an issue with the electronic thermostat I installed this year, as I tried turning up a different thermostat for another part of the house, and the boiler kicked on. However, the boiler only stayed on for about 10 minutes and then turned off. It seems like if the air temp is below the setting the boiler should stay on, right?
So if you have a boiler that only comes on intermintenly, what do you think the most likely problem would be? An issue with the thermostat or wiring? Or maybe the boiler needs a tune-up or something adjusted?
thanks
