Hello, I also would love to see part 4 zone valves , I don’t see it posted? Also keep this going with other videos if you can cover all the other parts to the boiler, you have a great and easy to understand way of explaining things …
Could use your advice. All the qualified heating contractors have left my area, because there is no new construction going on. I can't get anyone to even come to the house unless I agree to buy a new system, and I can't afford the $13 - 15K they want. My boiler is an old Iron Fireman. The flames are nice and blue.... Double wall flue pipe passes from the boiler through the garage wall, turns at a right angle and goes through the attic and out the roof. For the last 4 years I have had fumes in the house intermittently. Never enough to register on a CO meter, but enough to give me headaches. Gas company has checked thoroughly for natural gas leaks and found none. It occurred to me yesterday that two months before the problem developed, I had a new roof put on the house. We never had ridge vents, only gable vents. The contractor insisted on cutting and installing a ridge vent. My winter gas consumption almost doubled, even though I reduced the room temperature from 73 to 63 degrees to save money! Could the colder temperature in the attic be reducing the draft of the flue pipe? Mind you, this is double wall pipe, 8" outside diameter, but it is VERY cold in the attic. And the flue pipe passes through the full 10 foot height of the unheated, un-insulated garage and 6 1/2 feet of cold attic. After that first cold winter, I complained to the roofer. but he would not remove the ridge vents. There is only one roof contractor in the area and NO insulation contractors. I have mild Parkinsons and don't have good balance, but think I could get up into that attic and wrap insulation around that pipe if you think it would help and if you told me what kind of insulation might work. I also think I could wrap the pipe in the garage. I'm pretty desperate.

Hello, All three videos are excellent, but I cannot find part 4
Did you every make the video about zone valves?
More diagrams and visuals
Bait-and-switch! Why don't you show the detail of the boiler that you have on the video image? Horrible video.
