New Steam Boiler - Automatic Feed Issue

Chan K.
  • Lowell, MA
Posted

Hi 

So I had a contractor removed and installed a new steam boiler. 

He is supposed to come back and do a skimming on the system after 2 weeks, but he never came back.

My urgent question:

- The automatic feeder that he installed along with the boiler keep (re-feeding) even after it reached max level

Remaining Concern:

- The thermostat never reached what was set. The room temperature is always below the thermostat temp by 2 degree. I showed it to the contractor, but there was nothing he could do. (our old heat, the room temp reached the thermostat)

- The heat/room seems to take so long to achieve or reach the thermostat. (old system, set to 72 degree, and it took like 10-15 minutes to reach it). The new system takes forever (1-2 hour), is it normal? Is the system too small for the house or just an efficiency design for the new system?

What is your thought?
