Does anyone know of any good books on repairing and maintaining home
heating systems? I want something better than the few pages devoted to
heating in the whole house maintenance books. I have a steam system with
a 70 year old boiler (converted to natural gas). I would like to know
how to flush and clean the system, make sure the radiators are all
working properly, check the burner and replace the pilot ignitor.

Thanks
Dante

Have you checked your public library yet?

To be quite frank Dante;

A boiler isn't somthing DIY should mess with. Improper setting up,
adjusting, cleaning all will cause the boiler to become hazardous and will
shorten it's life. You would be smart to call a pro. Check and be sure the
company is licensed for a boiler [not just heating.] A smart professional
who isn't familar with boilers will tell you the same thing. Seek out a
professional licensed in boiler installation and repairs.
