Questions

Boilers & hot-water heat questions

Why is one baseboard cold?

Air in the line, a stuck zone valve or a failed circulator are common causes. We find out which one before replacing parts.

Is water from the relief valve dangerous?

It means pressure got too high. Do not plug the valve. Ask for service so the cause can be found.

Can a boiler also make hot water?

Yes. Some systems use an indirect tank or a combination boiler to make household hot water too.
