You should seriously wear a respirator when cleaning those Heat exchangers theres some nasty stuff in that oxidized aluminum dust you dont want in your lungs .
I could see the airborne particles flying when you were brushing the heat exchanger. I hope you're wearing a good mask. That has to be bad on the lungs. Excellent work as always. Blessings
You need to wear a quality dust mask while brushing those heat exchangers. I also keep the vacuum running while doing it. Have a good dust filter in that also.
do you ever use some never seize or loctite on those bolts that hold the burner on to prevent them from getting stuck I had some come out with a bit of aluminum stuck in the threads.
I don't see how you can trouble shoot the systems with several zones without all the zone components clearly marked. I don't much about boilers but having things labeled what help me troubleshoot any electrically controlled system.
Holy shit I’m glad I live in the Midwest because those systems look like spaghetti! I can only imagine the cost of having this put in on new construction or added to existing construction. It looks like a nightmare to me. Anyone that has this kind of set up probably has HVAC guys out just about every year.
Nah these setups can be very reliable when installed correctly. And easy to service when installed neatly and properly. Ductwork and labor are just as expensive as straight runs of piping in new construction. And most of these homes are old, piping is existing, and only the boiler or water heater are new
Great video, Daniel! 👍🙏

I like to stick the vacuum in bottom to suck the dust up as it is being made.
Excellent work Daniel! Day and night after doing that full maintenance 🏆 Amazing how fast that expansion tank failed 🤦🏻♂️

Very good diagnosis at that taj mahal.

Good to know!
tankless units , makes for lots of work for plumbers. Guaranteed job security
It's like buying a lambo and never checking fluids or changing the oil... Then one day BOOM! bye bye engine.
Bro be careful with those blow throughs, legionella ya know. ☠️
😵 acidic water
Do you get that smell when you put the new refractory material in too? I sure do!
Smell??? The refractory is inside the combustion chamber… shouldn’t be able to smell it it’s sealed off.
#1🎉🎉😂😂😂 hello Daniel
If we was to boiler battle I’ll flame you…
had one of those boilers not the best died after 8 years.
Smash that thumbs up button 👍

They’re not threaded into aluminum. They’re threaded into a stainless steel insert
my ultra 80 is old about 16 years old it has no inserts just right into cover plate newer bigger units must have inserts@@DCHVAC

Yea labels are always nice, we label when we install, but it is what it is
Should have replaced the whole system
Not charging enough 😂
