General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Hardy H5
« on: April 10, 2019, 02:40:19 PM »
Hi Fellas! Any idea how much a used Hardy H5 would be worth. I bought in brand new in 2012 and paid around 10 grand at the time for the unit and the install. I'm selling my house and either the new owner will buy it or I will sell it. Just wondering what you guys think and what the market is for a conventional boiler. It's been a workhorse and has performed great. Thanks in advance for any replies!

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Question about coal
« on: October 30, 2014, 01:52:38 PM »
I was just at the local feed store getting feed and noticed they have a pile of coal. I asked the guy how much and he said $59.00 per bob cat scoop. I know some of you guys burn a little coal and just curious if that is a decent deal. I'm in North Central MN. He said the coal came in from North Dakota and they have been selling a fair amount of it... The chunks all looked to be 6 to 12 inch.

Hardy / Blower on H5 not working.
« on: December 20, 2013, 09:58:00 PM »
Hello. I was out of town for a couple of nights and my wife was feeding the boiler. Got home to check things out and noticed that the damper was pulled open and the blower was not on. I unplugged the power cord for the solenoid and blower and immediately the chain dropped from the solenoid and damper closed. Plugged it back in and damper opened back up and no blower. I stuck a screwdriver in and am able to turn the wheel sprocket thingy in the blower but it won't kick on. Any ideas? It's only a little over a year old. Had been working fine up until for sure two days ago. I oiled it this fall but maybe it didn't get it good enough...

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Anyone else out cuttin wood?
« on: February 02, 2013, 01:18:07 PM »
Just curious if anyone else is out cutting wood today? It's 7 degrees here in MN and its kind of nice out there. Unlike earlier in the season I don't come in dripping with sweat. We just put the owb in last fall and I figured I had enough cut to get me into feb and here we are and it's time to cut more. I suppose most of you owb vets are always a couple of years ahead...

Hardy / Low temp/water indicator light ?
« on: December 23, 2012, 07:45:09 PM »
Not sure if all models have the red light on the side but mine keeps going on. I checked the water level and temp and it all seems fine. I talked to my dealer/installer guy the other night and he said the sensor is super touchy and it could be down a cup of water and trigger the indicator light. Goes off- goes back on just kind of bugs me to see the light on. Anyone else have this happen? Between this and trying to get my indoor registers hot on all floors it's kind of driving me crazy. Each damn day it's something different. I'm in a new house for me (old farm house with crappy windows) and just trying to get everything to work together in sync seems tough.

Do any of you Hardy guys also have an oil fired boiler? I ask this because I am noticing that my oil fired boiler in the basement is kicking on and I seem to be using way more oil than I thought. The plan when we put this in was to NOT use oil, only as a back up. I talked to my local Hardy guy last night and he had me tweek the aquastat on the oil boiler to see if that would help. That was set at 195 and I dropped it down to 180. My Hardy is set at 180 on the high side and 165 on the low side. This is my first year in this old farm house so I'm trying to learn how these things work, plus we added in the owb so I'm really confused now... I sat in the basement and watched the temp guage on the inside boiler drop to about 160 and then the oil fired up and ran it up to about 190 and it shut off. I think this is happening all the time I just recenntly noticed it. I have a hvac guy who a freind of the family coming out Friday to try and figure this out. We have radiant baseboard heat and keep the house around 70. Not sure if this is enough info for anyone to chime in but I'm just curious if anyone else has had this happen. I have 35 gallons of oil left and I'm a little hacked off that I will need to but more. Our temps have been 20 during the day and 0 to -5 at night.

Hardy / Newbie Hardy question
« on: November 09, 2012, 08:10:12 AM »
How often do you guys let your Hardy burn down. My dealer told me every 3 to 4 days... Do you guys let it burn down completely and then clean ash box and grate? Just curious how others are doing this and what kind of procedure you guys go through? I'm new to this and any info or help is very much appreciated!
