I heat my home with a boiler/hot water/radiator system. It's a very old system using natural gas to fire the boiler and a circulation pump. I recently cleaned it and turned the flame much lower than where it was set. My logic was that too much heat was being wasted out the flue pipe and chimney. It still heats the house with no problem with a water temp of 120-130 degrees. Question is, will this save me money on my fuel bill?
You may be able to turn the heat down even more, depending upon the quality of insulation and size of the spaces being heated. The flame for natural gas and propane should be blue. If it's yellow, there's not enough oxygen and you run the risk of carbon monoxide accumulation and soot buildup in the flue and boiler heat exchanger.
You should never adjust the flame unless you know what you are doing. See post above
I don't know how you turned the flame down. I think only you could say after you get a bill. 120 deg is hardly condensation temp, I would turn it UP to 140 minimum.
the installers could have used the incorrect length pipe for the exhaust. the superb element at this element could be to have a individual from Rheem (it rather is normally a close-by producer's consultant) come to your place to come to a decision why it rather is not working. If it maintains, and no person grants an outstanding answer- its real that Rheem ought to the two replace it at their cost, or refund you funds so as which you will get a clever one someplace else.
