Hi, I have a service contract with my oil supplier. One of the covered
items is pressure control...

now my boiler's pressure relief valve is spurting a little water at
the end of each cycle and i believe
either my Extrol is waterlogged or the pressure relief value is shot.
When I called the Co. to come
take a look, they told me that's not covered by my contract. Can you
tell me what "pressure control"
would mean then?

thanks

pressure control , is similar to a limit switch on a furnace
it will have wires attached to it , what your desribing is a pressure relief
valve
it is intended to releive excess pressure in case of a failure like burners
not shutting , off
it prevents your boiler from becoming a bomb

a pressure control actually shuts the boiler on and off and keeps the pressure
in a certain range ,
Btw , is this a steam or hot water boiler . wont see a pressure control on a
hot water system , just an aquastat


apples and oranges , shouldnt be too expensive to replace

thanks for the explanation. this is a buderus boiler with a reillo
burner and its
combination heat/hot water.

last night i drained the pressure off, checked the pressure on the
extrol,
and it was zero. inflated to 20lbs, refilled, started boiler, same
issue, gets
to 30 lbs and blows off some water thru the relief valve. Time for a
service visit,
but who to call?

wish i could locate a good service guy in central mass, i seem to
always
get the trainee who has to be followed up by some more experienced
personnel. Any recommendations here?

Tell them your not paying for them to send out an unsupervised trainee, Just
send out a Master Technician that will get it right the first time.

And if turns out he don't bring along his Master Technician Certificate with
him for your examination then suggest send him a packing.
