You are the MVP for these videos my friend. Excellent video with crucial information.

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

Thanks!

Another great video from professor Mike.

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

Thanks!

[@petersamios5409]

Great presentation. I look forward to the next ones.

You're the best bro.

These are so helpful as a mechanical technician working on heating systems, predominantly steam. Ive been searching online and for literature on stuff like basic wiring diagrams and sequence of operation information that can speak to the everyday tech who is servicing and troubleshooting heating equipment. One of my biggest personal hurdles in heating is being able to have a good grasp on where to start, and the process of elimination for diagnosing different safety limits, relays etc. I think that type of simple and straightforward information is lacking. I think if i can get a good grasp on where to start and which proceeding limits, relays, transformers to look and test for, it will be a huge boost in being able to confidently diagnose systems. These type of videos are exactly what i need to help in simplifying and explaining the process

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

Thanks. Yeah, it's great to look at schematics and there's a lot to learn from them, but without the sequence it can still be a bit confusing. I thought overlaying the two together would be really helpful for people, so glad to hear it's been as helpful for you.

Great job Mike. Thank you for the knowledge

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

You're welcome, my friend.

Very helpful! Thanks

[@sermore77]

Thanks for all lesson these videos great

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

My pleasure

[@edwardsmith4693]

You're the 🐐🐐🐐.....Keep the videos coming. Extremely helpful & simplistic approach but yet very insightful, make one hell of a combination

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

Will do

[@proto718]

Thanks for the lesson. 👍👌

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

Always welcome

[@Fordo11789]

Love your videos, learning and clarifying a lot. Please keep up the great work

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

Thanks, will do!

[@superbroolyy]

Thank you very much !

[@IADFL]

What kind of software you use for this video, really awesome.

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

Using Filmora 13 along with Pixilied.

Hi Mike. What will be the pressure in the boiler when not call for heat? Still about 0.5 0 psi cut in setting? If not. How to build the pressure for .5 psi to close pressuretro contact? I don’t get that?

[@elgkas9928]

Mike, can you do a video on intermittent spark ignition, theory and troubleshooting?

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

I'm working on that one right now. Hope to have it done by this weekend.

[@elgkas9928]

@@JerseyMikeHVAC Honeywell especially. Thank you so much!

[@aamirshahzad8060]

Why you need a relay. Does it allow hi voltage to the transformer?

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

You don't need it. Some boilers come with a one piece relay/xfmr as an accessory to be able to power a circulator pump for a hydronic heating zone. T-stat would activate the relay which would then activate 120v to the circ pump.

[@ernestodiaz76]

hey jersey can i hook up a extra wire to common terminal on that tranformer and get power to the thermostat an install a wifi thermostat?

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

I wouldn't advise doing that. I'm going to make a video soon on how to put in a dedicated transformer and a relay so you can hook up wifi smart stats to these boilers without a lot of problems. I just need to finish the spark ignition steam boiler video then I'll get on that.

[@ernestodiaz76]

@@JerseyMikeHVAC wonder what would be the issue?

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

@@ernestodiaz76 Some boilers have a LWCO wired in between the R terminal of the XFMR bus and the T-stat, causing power issues on low water conditions. Some smart stats use too much power for the steam circuit to run properly and would require shutting off all of the smart features of the stat to make it work. You're better off going dedicated.

[@ernestodiaz76]

Got it. If you're talking about good practice and doing the right thing especially for customers and prevents call back I get it

[@miguelrojas3394]

I love This kind of videos thanks Mike.
