Hi all. This is my first post. If you have any insight to my situation, I would appreciate it.
About two years ago, my Weil-Mclean boiler cracked and was replaced under warranty. After it was replaced, the cast iron pipe coming from the the boiler started to leak. That fall, the company that did the work came out and replaced the leaky connection.
That winter and this winter, when it is really cold outside, the boiler struggles to get the house temp above 63 degrees. This is the case even after running continuously for hours and hours.
The temp gauge reads about 130 and the pressure gauge reads 60psi. While looking at the specs of the unit I noticed thath the max pressure for the unit was 50psi. Is it possible that the replacement part being narrower than the cast iron it replaced be causing the pressure to be too high? Would this cause the boiler to not heat properly? Below are some pictures.
