Latest boiler room makeover.

This is a recently completed boiler system project that involved significant repiping and improvements to incorporate a new master bath radiant floor circuit and performance improvements. A buffer tank was added to eliminate boiler short-cycling and outdoor reset was added to the radiant floor circuits (master bath, family room and first floor bath) to prevent an over-temp condition. Variable speed circulators were added to reduce pumping costs and manifolds were added with zone valves and controllers for individual circuits. Slab sensors were added to the master bath and family room. Piping improvements were made to give the owner more predictable control over room and floor temperatures. The improvements will make this home more comfortable while saving fuel.

Here's how things looked before our make-over:
