    Oil fired Boiler doesn't heat water properly and creates banging noise

    Thanks Dana. I had the coil cleaned a few days ago which gives me now constantly running hot water. A water softener system plus potential filters for iron will be installed next week. I also ordered an indirect water heater to save some $$$ as I'm not in the house all the time. Last but not...

    Oil fired Boiler doesn't heat water properly and creates banging noise

    Bought a home a few months ago and still struggling to set up my boiler correctly. I have a SlantFin Liberty Oil fired cast iron boiler heating up two heating zones through baseboards and the water in the house. After the first few weeks, I noticed two things: 1) Baseboards around the house...
