🍂 The clocks fell back last weekend and the nights are getting cooler in LaPorte. Boilers are back to work.

Between heating cycles, a big old radiator system can cool all the way down to about 60°F, and that's the water the boiler has to warm back up.

If you're asking whether an old radiator system can hurt a new Weil-McLain CGi boiler, the answer is yes, if the water coming back to the boiler runs too cold, because that cold water makes flue gas condense inside it. Weil-McLain's manual says keeping the boiler's water warm enough prevents that condensation. It also warns that cold return water can corrode the boiler's cast-iron sections.

So when we put a new CGi on a big old radiator system, the piping that keeps the water coming back to the boiler at 130°F or more is on our quote. Worth asking about on any boiler quote.

Call 219-362-6251. Mon–Fri 7AM–5PM, Sat 7:30AM–12PM. Hope you enjoyed the extra hour of sleep, neighbors. 🕰️

🎃 Something spooky blinking at you from the furnace this Halloween?

On a newer Armstrong Air A961EK, E240 on the display isn't a ghost. It's low flame current, and it comes with a number.

If you're asking whether an Armstrong A961EK's flame sensor needs replacing, the answer starts with a microamp reading the furnace's control can display in its flame-signal mode, because the installation manual rates 1.5 microamps or more as normal, 0.5 to 1.4 as low and 0.4 or less as drop-out. A low reading can mean a sensor that needs cleaning or replacing, or a poor ground.

No tricks from us. Our technicians read that number before choosing between cleaning the sensor and replacing it, so you don't pay for a part a cleaning would have fixed, and the reading goes on your repair proposal. Look for that number on any sensor quote.

Same-day service for urgent heating calls, Mon–Fri 7AM–5PM and Sat 7:30AM–12PM. Call 219-362-6251. Happy trick-or-treating, LaPorte. 👻

**A note for neighbors in older LaPorte and Michigan City homes with a boiler and a brick chimney.**

We wanted to share a recent inspection because it's a very important topic. Plenty of older houses here heat with a gas boiler venting up a brick chimney, often shared with the water heater. When the boiler is due for service, there's one mandatory question: Is my boiler venting properly?

The old chimney isn't a free pass, and clay chimney liners don't last forever. A chimney trade article on how they fail lists acid in flue gases and freeze-thaw cycles among the causes, and names the most common signs as "cracks in clay liners and displacement of broken pieces." We recently saw where a blocked chimney can end: a boiler sooted shut, on a chimney that was likely blocked.

If you're asking whether a new boiler can go back on an old brick chimney in LaPorte, the answer is that a new draft-hood boiler can go back on it only after the chimney is inspected and its lining is sound. Failing to clean or replace perforated pipe or tile lining can cause severe personal injury or death. The other answer is a boiler that doesn't depend on the chimney at all, and that choice belongs on the replacement quote.

When the boiler is sooted shut and the chimney is blocked, we don't clean and reline. We quote a boiler that doesn't depend on the chimney. If your water heater is on that chimney too, it comes off with a Navien combi that makes your hot water, or with a separate power-vent water heater. The boiler and what happens to your water heater are both on the quote before any work starts, and we can email it. Questions about yours? Call 219-362-6251.

That little white box next to your furnace can turn your heat off. On purpose.

It's a condensate pump. A high-efficiency furnace makes water all winter, and where there's no floor drain low enough, the pump carries it away. Some pumps have a high-water switch. Little Giant's manual says that switch "opens a thermostat circuit when the pump reservoir is full." Wired that way, a full pump means no heat.

But the switch is only the messenger. A full tank means the pump stopped pumping. Sometimes the cause is a dirty float. For a failed pump switch or motor, Little Giant's troubleshooting chart says: "Replace pump."

If you're asking why your furnace stopped with water sitting in the pump, the answer can be a pump that quit, because an unemptied tank fills and trips a high-water switch wired to cut the heat.

If the pump has quit, dumping the water only resets the switch until the tank fills again. We install and replace condensate pumps. Call 219-362-6251; you'll get the price before we start.
