I began by draining the system of water and removing the old boiler and associated piping. Next, I installed a new Weil McLain WTGO-4 4 section oil boiler with burner, along with an autofeed, backflow preventer, expansion tank, hi-vent, flue pipe, three circulator pumps, pressure relief, zone panel, flexible oil lines, and all necessary piping. I also installed a mixing valve, temperature/pressure relief, and additional piping. After filling the system with water and purging all air, I started and tested all zones and hot water temperatures, dialing in the mixing valve. Finally, I conducted combustion and smoke tests to ensure everything was functioning correctly.

Upon arrival, the unit was operational but had reset. Reviewing the primary control history revealed that the control was shutting off due to high ohms. After pressing the reset button, high ohms persisted, accompanied by sputtering flames. I checked the oil flow, which appeared adequate but slightly inconsistent. Upon inspecting the oil pump, I found that the shaft side of the coupling had become rounded, causing slippage on the oil pump shaft and resulting in intermittent oil flow. I replaced the coupling end and removed the nozzle assembly, discovering that the nozzle was beginning to leak and spray incorrectly. After installing a new nozzle, I started and tested the system, confirming that the unit was functioning correctly. Future maintenance should include a thorough evaluation of the oil pump and coupling to determine if the issue was due to a defective coupling or an oil pump problem. The system's emissions were within acceptable limits, showing 5.2% O2, 2 ppm CO, and no smoke.

I conducted a comprehensive preventive maintenance service on an oil furnace. The process began with thorough brushing and vacuuming to remove any accumulated dust and debris. I replaced the oil filter, ensuring it was properly seated to maintain optimal filtration. The oil nozzle and strainer were also replaced to guarantee efficient oil flow and prevent contaminants from entering the system. Additionally, I replaced the air filter with a 16x25x1 size, ensuring clean air circulation. After these replacements, I started the furnace and checked all safety mechanisms to ensure they were functioning correctly. A combustion test was performed, revealing 7.0% oxygen, 23 ppm of CO, no smoke, and an efficiency of 83.3%. The system is now operating properly and efficiently.

I thoroughly inspected the oil tank, ensuring all aspects were examined. There was no oil on the top of the tank, and no oil spots were found on the floor beneath it. I carefully checked the welded seam on the side adjacent to the wall, discovering a residue. After wiping the welded edge, I determined the residue to be old. Additionally, I identified a dark spot on the side just above the weld, which could be a potential concern. Fortunately, this area is not currently leaking.

Upon arrival, I found the burner in a reset state. After resetting the control, the burner motor initiated but failed to ignite. I reviewed the error codes on the primary control, noting that the last two cycles had not resulted in ignition, with ohms readings exceeding 10,000 ohms. Previous cycles had shown ohms readings around 280 ohms. I inspected the fuel at the bleeder on the fuel pump and examined the nozzle assembly, discovering minimal oil. Checking the nozzle line from the fuel pump, I found no fuel flow to the nozzle assembly. The solenoid coil was receiving 120 volts, indicating a faulty coil. I replaced the coil, and the burner started properly, with ohms readings returning to 280.

I conducted a comprehensive preventive maintenance on the oil furnace and oil water heater. This included brushing and vacuuming the flue pipe and heat exchanger to ensure optimal airflow and safety. I replaced the oil filter, nozzles, and strainers to maintain peak performance. All electrical connections and safety mechanisms were thoroughly checked. Combustion and smoke tests were performed, with the furnace showing 4.6% oxygen, 1 ppm CO, and no smoke, and the water heater at 5.2% oxygen, 0 ppm CO, and no smoke. The customer reported lukewarm water, so I adjusted the mixing valve to increase the temperature to 120°F. Additionally, I recommended a chimney cleaning due to noticeable buildup near the flue pipe entrance.

5.1% oxygen, 7 ppm carbon monoxide, and no smoke. Upon starting the system, I observed pressure fluctuations, with the boiler pressure rising from 20 psi to 29 psi. After draining, the pressure stabilized at 19 psi. The expansion tank is faulty, causing pressure issues. I recommended replacing it, but the customer opted not to proceed with the repair today.

I meticulously cleaned the flue pipe and heat exchanger, ensuring no debris obstructed airflow. I replaced the oil filter, nozzle, and strainer to maintain optimal performance. All electrical connections and safety features were thoroughly checked for reliability. I conducted combustion and smoke tests, achieving excellent results with 6.5% oxygen, 0 ppm carbon monoxide, and no visible smoke, confirming the system's efficiency and safety.

I began by safely turning off the power to the unit to ensure a secure working environment. Next, I carefully disconnected and removed the old inducer motor and its gasket. Following this, I installed a new inducer motor and gasket, which were covered under warranty. After confirming the installation, I restored power to the unit. Finally, I started the system and conducted thorough tests to verify proper operation, ensuring everything functioned as expected.

Upon arrival, I identified a broken semi-hard water line connecting the solenoid to the humidifier water panel. I disconnected the wires to the solenoid and discovered it was still allowing water to flow despite being powered off, indicating a faulty solenoid. I attempted to close the piercing valve but found it wouldn't seat fully, continuing to let water through. Consequently, I determined that the solenoid needed replacement and a new semi-hard water line installation. I documented the findings and prepared to return with the necessary parts to complete the repair.
