Riello oil burner annual service

[@jb-ll4nz]

I am Currently in school for HVAC. Got Nora test In December. Your videos help more than the book ever will. Thank you

[@lju3428]

I've been using those yellow handle Solder Seal/Douglas slip joint pliers since I was a 1st year apprentice in 1972, and still using them today. The best ones out there.

[@johnkrim8377]

Same here only since 1962, a long long time ago, retired now and the pliers.

[@chrisgormley5751]

Thats the first time I seen a filter installed outdoors. In Jersey they are all indoors. Sometimes as soon as the pipes come inside or right near the unit.

[@miketarbox1190]

Such a pretty hot flower at the end!

Hey Steve, when my Boiler man came for my annual maintenance and cleaning, he replaced my Delavan 1.00 gph 60 degree A nozzle with a 1.00 gph 60 degree W nozzle. He said he didn’t have another A on the truck....what’s the difference between an A nozzle and a W nozzle?

[@croyal4240]

A nozzle is hollow spray and W is Semi hollow or semi solid spray B nozzle is solid spray

[@TurboDaveT]

Where's the fuel pressure test and combustion tune part of this service? Different video?

[@georgesiatos9848]

great work steve!!!!

[@steviebauer386]

i have a question upgraded from a old school to a digtal themostat and i notic the themostat is making a wierd clicking sound every time the system turns on and off is the themostat faulty my old one never did this?

[@kylebass4635]

Looks like they are burning dyed kerosene. I moved my filter inside beside the boiler after we had a extremely cold spell and it choked off and I woke up about to freeze.

[@kylebass4635]

@@throttlebottle5906 exactly right. I liked the duplex fitting top feed from the tank duel line. Never had any problems with those. Don't know why you never see those in videos from New England.

[@picklerix6162]

Why did you change to a different nozzle? Was the wrong size installed by the original contractor? I haven't seen any oil fired furnaces or boilers since I left Ohio many years ago.

[@Keo0oo]

Wondering the same thing, does it make any difference?

[@johnbutton4013]

Steve said the wrong one was installed and he put the correct nozzle in

[@erikj.2066]

Far as I know, Riello typically recommends a 45 or 60 degree nozzle. The 70 degree nozzle was probably installed by some clown who normally just works on Becketts. Yes, it does make a difference. Air tube, and retention head are designed for a certain angle spray pattern.

[@Keo0oo]

@@erikj.2066 Thanks!

[@johnkrim8377]

It also depends a lot on the size and shape of the combustion chamber, you don't want any impingement on the sides or the target wall.

[@Gregking75]

In the UK if you swap nozzles you must correct air flow for correct mixture. How do you check this in the US

[@johnkrim8377]

You check it by doing a combustion analysis and making the needed adjustments!

[@ARepublic87]

Sharing knowledge and experience! Thank you, Steve! For all your videos/coffee chats

[@bobat2]

If you changed the nozzle size, why didn't you adjust the air inlet appropriately. Why no combustion test, particularly on a first time job? It's your Planet for all our children, so why not be sure that the burner is running as perfect as can be? Bob in VT

[@jeffcoolhd]

Great job Steve but I think that utility door has to have some kind of violation with the fire department. Peace brother and Molly

[@michaelraduazzo6146]

I'm confused. If the filter looked brand new why not just put it back?

[@kahvac]

Someone else's work...Filters are cheap. If Steve gets a call back you want to be sure of what you have. Filter is already opened and now there is air in the line most of the cost here is labor. Filters are a few dollars.

[@edwardweber6231]

They shouldn't be outside, the only reason this one won't gel up is because there burning kerosene. But if there's any moisture in the tank it'll freeze up and plug.

[@zekenzy6486]

Good Job Steven. I want to ask something. I'm now working resident hvac helper. I want in the future to work on commercial hvac technician for public school. I know how to fix , repair , replace parts, new system hvac install these are resident hvac. With 3 -5 years worked on resident hvac. do you think I can work fix, repair commercial hvac for big building high school. High school they had very big hvac system. with alot hvac system unit on roof. I was wonder. If someone can help or explain . Thank you.

[@jake2213b]

I could not see so how does that system get any oxygen so that it run right? If is that door then it needs to be remove so that they can' close it.

[@dwight.bennett]

@1:29 makeup air vent on wall and middle of door.

[@derekobidowski3301]

i accidently deleted the comment i was Wondering Steve if you heard the Crash of the Collings Foundation B-17 in Conniticut? if you do service near the area? I see you are busy entering the heating season, winterizing houses.

[@mattkowal90]

Scammers calling Steven while he's working, he doesn't have time for that Mama. It's happened to me. In Pennsylvania, the space where the burner is located is a violation according to the gas company, oil companies, obviously servicemen, and especially the fire department. Not enough ventilation and poor air return, that door shouldn't even be attached, and I'm really surprised with the confined space that there is no soot in the exhaust. Steven once again reminding us to get our heating systems inspected and serviced yearly on a regular basis for the upcoming winter. As another reminder, be sure to get your fireplaces inspected as well, just a reminder from him to prevent carbon monoxide and fires.

[@dwight.bennett]

@1:29 There's make-up air on a wall vent and something in the middle of the door

[@johnkrim8377]

Just cleaned my boiler today ,brushed it down ,new nozzle, set electrodes, checked oil flow, checked draft, Houston we have ignition!!

[@mattkowal90]

@@johnkrim8377 He hey, that's what I'm talking about, and I wish everyone's tag on their systems have that written. Although I have gas. For me, calibrate the burners, clean any sediment, check exhaust etc.

[@Pyro4100]

That phone call was not official that was a total scam I've already received hundreds of them

[@jskidpatrol]

Agreed. You should also never "press 2" or have any other sort of interaction (don't even talk) that may cause you to become liable for some form of scam approval. I can guarantee there is no "do not call" list for this scammer. Just hang up on all of them.

[@jake2213b]

I get those calls all the time. I no longer talk nice so they are no one on he other end. Here is one My 2013 car is running out of warranty so push one for someone to help me. That car was TOTAL OUT July 2015.

[@Pyro4100]

I've just gotten to the point now where I mess with them and put it on KZbin

[@matthewbestdfghy]

6:40 KZbinr shango066 speaks to them but just says gibberish until they hang up.

[@johnkrim8377]

Steve, you should let your phone in the truck and let Molly answer it.

[@renaissanceman4267]

You don't have enough room to scratch your ass in that little F'in room!!🤔....Great video Steve!!

[@josephmicheletti3394]

Way to just guess at that nozzle you put in that riello burner , it wasn't even close to being right hopefully customer wasn't charged to much for this circus

[@Fireship1]

All the smart customers calling for burner service now. Winter will soon be upon us in the northeast!

[@teddbrown4262]

I don't believe you don't wipe anything with a rag.... I am guessing you have a lot of call backs
