Customer has no heat at main house zone. We did some repairs yesterday. We bleed air from line. Now main zone is not heating. Check computer settings and found to be dining room thermostat to be priority than main hose. Made some adjustments so main house it’s priority number one and dining room it’s number two. Test operation cycle boiler ok. Also reduce max firing rate to 80% so water temps does not increase fast so boiler goes into soft lockout. Reduce firing rate to 50% for dining zone. Cycle boiler ok. During the troubleshooting I was able to do some maintenance procedure on boiler. Boiler needs a maintenance kit. All the gaskets are worn out. Also expansion tank it’s no longer holding water temperature. Bring this to customer attention and provided estimate for recommendations, customer approved maintenance kit. Other estimate He will decide by tomorrow so we can be prepared when we come back. Customer pay 50% for repairs.

Found that when homeowner turned on small baseboard loop that he barely uses that board on well McLean ultra was not outputting 125 V to main circulator loop pump and was shutting off boiler on high limit. Decided to just use main loop in house and Garage fan coil to heat up the garage slightly and not use small loop. Also found that after running main loop there was air lock in the main loop of the boiler system. Explain to homeowner that we need to purge the air in order for the loop to get hot . Purged air and tested operation. Did not have time to perform maintenance at this time. Boiler is working fine at time of service.
