Our home is about 4300 sf and we have radiant baseboard heating. About 2 years ago we replaced the boiler with a 166,000 btu Weil-McLain, Model # CGa-6PIDN, natural gas. Our prior boiler had a pilot light, this one has an ignitor. We are happy with the unit but one thing has bothered me since it was installed – when the burner comes on it seems there is very strong flame ignition force or sound. Almost as if the ignitor is coming on a tad late and the camber may already have a bit more gas than is ideal causing a strong “wooshing” of air. It’s not extreme but enough where I notice it every time it ignites up. If memory serves, our prior boiler lit up very smoothly.
I guess my question is, would this be normal for a boiler with an ignitor vs a pilot light or is there some sort of adjustment that governs this? It’s not a huge deal if this is standard but if it shouldn’t be that way I would like to know.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
