Boiler keeps tripping reset
QUESTION:I just moved into a 1928 house in Southern Md. a little over a month
ago. Before we bought the house, we had the boiler checked and cleaned
by a cetified company. It was given the ok.
Now it is repeatedly tripping the reset on the ignition. Almost every
other day I'm finding when I get up in the morning the boiler is
turned off.
It is a Columbia boiler and a Honeywell ignition that I was told are
about 12 years old. The wiring in the house is also about 10 years
old.
Is there anything I can do to adjust it?
ANSWER: This must be an oil-fired boiler.
Since it happens after an overnight shutdown, I would suspect
an oil delivery/pressure problem on cold startup.
This is not the end of the world. It's not a boiler failure
or wiring problem and would have been difficult for the inspector
to find.
Have the service people come out and check the burner/pump.
