A person named Nahsani recently posted the following on the
alt.hvac newsgroup:

"My two-year old Slantfin Boiler won't heat the house above 65
degrees, and it's usually at 60 degrees. It'll come on and off
randomly for short periods of time (as short as one second) and
over a long period of time, it may bring up the temp to 65. . . .

And, he later wrote:

"My old boiler was ancient - 50 year old, big. Then it puffed back
and wrecked my house. Anyway, I only replaced the boiler and the
pipes leading into it. It used to work fine (the new one).
Although my ex-boiler guy insisted that the on and off operation
is normal, I really think it's important. . . .,

I decided to also post it here in case anyone here has and ideas
or suggestions.


Dear Nahsani,

Is the thermostat actually calling for heat all this
time? Can you see on the display?

Do the radiators get hot at any point during the day,
or only a trace of heat?

Is there a circulating pump on the system?


Is there a Nahsani?

Lots of speculation on little info and what info there is doesn't
make much sense. N is MIA.


Yes, apparently Nahsani has "left the building".

Sorry for wasting everyone's time on this one. I decided to try
posting this here on alt.home.repair to help Nahsani. And, I only
did so because he was responsive in the alt.hvac group where he
originally posted his question, and he posted about 5 follow-up
posts there in response to questions and feedback that he received
on that forum. If it were not for his willingness to follow up on
the discussion there on alt.hvac, I would not have posted his
question here. However, after I posted his inquiry


Did he ever say he woudl read AHR? He reads through
FlashNewsgroups.com, I think, and maybe it's hard to read this group.

Oh, look at this:

The Flash NewsGroups WebSite is temporarily DOWN for maintenance.
Sorry for any inconvenience, we should be back up in 2-3 hours.

This site is down, but no need for alarm

You were right, it wasn't you.. it was us.

But we're different now, and we really want to change.

Give us another chance, and before tomorrow we'll be a whole new
site, a better site, promise.
Service should be restored before the end of January 10th

We apologize for any inconvenience.

If you use 70.38.38.40 instead of flashnewsgroups.com, stop. That
address will not work after today.

He posted from Jan. 10 to Jan 15, so it must have come up and then
gone down again.

When I entered flashnewsgroups.com, I got "server not found, but
when I entered wwww.flashnewsgroups.com, I got what is above.
Normlally FF inserts the www. ????


Wow, that's interesting about flashnewsgoups.com -- whatever that is. Maybe
that does explain why Nahsani appeared to have "left the building". Maybe
flashnewsgroups.com won't let him in the building.
