In October 2021 we submitted a proposal to convert their heating system from oil to natural gas - all inclusive of new gas piping to support the new equipment, allowances for chimney lining & oil tank removal - new Steam boiler and replacement gas water heater - complete with all new near boiler piping. Instead they went with the lowest bid for a new steam boiler and now they need help with short cycling - AKA Steam Surging.

Good services are never cheap. I always skim all my new installs with arm and hammer washing soda. Sometimes it takes hours, but it’s figured into my price. Then I add steam master tablets or eight-way to the boiler. It turns the water purple and my customer's indication that the water needs to be cleaned when the water changes color. I also install a water meter on the cold water feed to the boiler, so I know how much water has been added to the boiler. I think you do a great job of explaining everything to your customers. Educating your customers will keep you in business. Keep up the excellent work, Mikey! I enjoy watching your channel. I live/work in the Philadelphia area we have a lot of steam boilers.

That install was a “get me 2 from outside the Home Depot” special…….😀.

Mike nice explaining the system. The first thing i do to my steam installation is add a container of Squick that helps drop the oils to the bottom.

I watch all your videos and this is one of my favourites. Great job Mikey. I’ve been in the plumbing and heating industry in Canada for 25 years and I’ve seen so many clients accept the lowest price and end up costing more than having it installed properly the first time

I love when I go back to fix the side job king who is probably working out of a Camry it just makes you realize your all in on what u do! Master your craft

Mike you do a great job educating customers. I do the same. Your videos are great. Got me looking for A supply house who sells Bosch. Great product. Bosch should be paying you for sponsorship.

remember oil floats on water, so in a steam boiler it will lay on the top until the water becomes overheats and suddenly bursts out large pockets of steam and the oil itself can be hot enough to foam up and some go along with the steam, causing more issues with water returning and pipe blocking.

Hi! Almost all US Boiler residential boilers ship with that wretched overlong 1/2" boiler drain.

@chatrkat Год назад

You are the boiler king! I don’t service boilers, I love watching you diagnose and repair these issues. Especially when a homeowner uses a cheaper contractor that does a less than proper installation. Excellent corrective work Saint Mike. 👍🏻 I like your homeowner there. And if I lived in NY I’d go to his church, I might look a little out of place but so what. I like the way he talked. You did good for those people even though they didn’t buy a boiler from you, I complement you Mike.

Skimming is a must. EVERY manual I’ve encountered so far says to do it before start up. Unfortunately most homeowners today are just not capable of maintaining their own steam systems. Even just draining it and refilling once during the heating season can help with rust and sediment, and they just can’t or won’t do it. I commissioned a 3.5 million btu HB Smith boiler with a Powerflame burner a few years ago. Took HOURS to skim. Had to let it run for a couple weeks, then go back and do it again.

Mikey, remember, Don't add cold water to that HOT boiler or it's going to be REPLACED, "Crack" I started adding the feed line from the hot water, diminish the delta t on the boiler water. Your great with the Customer's, with the explanations and education, Keep up the great video's.

@mrhoward35 2 года назад

As always, Mikey Pipes keeping it real. And I agree with the customer. If you don’t like it to F’n bad.

@josemoya792 Год назад

Hi Mikey pipes my name is Jose I watch almost all your videos and I learn a lot I bought the book that you recommended on Amazon especially the part about pressure and boiler pressure over the 35 years I have this house not even once I heard somebody talk about the pressure on the boiler

This is why the lowest bid isn’t the best bid!

Nice. Videos very educational thanks

Been there. Emergency no heat call December 22. I took the high road and went over. The cheaper contractor piped in 3 suspended gas fired heaters to a water line instead of the gas line. By code the gas valves had to be replaced and at double time weekend charge. So much for the lowest bidder.
