Good morning,
This is the first time it's been below freezing since installing my Lochinvar Knight 085 boiler. Last night it was about 30 degrees outside here in Rhode Island my boiler was heating the house with 132 degree water. Whenever my thermostat dropped below 67 (where i keep it 24/7) the boiler kicks on and runs for about 20-25 minutes until it reaches 67. The zone would keep the temperature for about 40 minutes and then turn the boiler back on.
The boiler runs at 100% for a minute or two, then works it way down to 10% and stays there for a few minutes then moves back up and hovers around 30-40% for the remaining time. Is this normal?
I just want to make sure I have my temperature setting correct because it seems like my boiler is running far longer (which I know is a good thing) than my old cast iron. I'm just concerned about the gas bill with the boiler running so much.
