Need to Find Help in Seacoast Area of New Hampshire
Hi,
I have an AA-220 mostly installed in my house. It works, but under load the carbon monoxide detector going off. I need to find someone to help troubleshoot this problem and to finish up small work on the boiler (two pump returns) and installing a heat exchanger.
The person who did the original work left this at 90-95% done, but I am dead in the water without that last bit finished.
Does anyone know someone near the seacoast of New Hampshire who knows coal boilers?
Thanks,
Peter

Could use some details on the stovepipe and chimney. Have you tried opening a window? AAs when running can easily pressurize the pipe from that monster blower so seal all the stovepipe joints well. Baro? Try covering it with tinfoil and see what happens.

I think this is a Leisure Line 220. Draft must be properly set, and combustion air may need to be adjusted so the combustion chamber is not pressurized.

I hope this works out and they are able to complete the install, fire it up and trouble shoot it. This is how friendships are made. Sharing knowledge.
