QUESTION:I have a old (guessing 1960's) peerless boiler for my hot water heat. the
problem is, when I light the pilot light it stays lit, the burners fire up
for 1 cycle, then when the house is up to temp, the safeties kick everything
off. sounds like a big switch is being thrown in the electrical system. just
had boiler serviced last winter, replaced the thermocouple, had the wiring
checked out by a electrician friend. he couldn't find anything. a new boiler
is out of the question as well as having some overpaid repairman out to fix
it. that's where I come to you guys. don't tell me WOAH shut it off or you
will blow up or some useless crap like that. there is no danger from that.
as I mentioned, the safeties work 100%
ANSWER: Problem 1 is that its old....they only build them to last 20 or so years.
Problem 2 is that you refuse to have it serviced by a *competent*, licensed,
insured, professionally trained, HVAC technician.
Problem 3 is that it is cycling off on safeties.
Problem 4 is that you don't have a clue about what is dangerous or not.
Problem 5 is that if ignorance is bliss, then you must be euphoric.
