Title: Shutting down question
Post by: Crow on April 27, 2014, 04:46:26 PM

 So after a long but successful winter I decided to shut down the boiler today. I actually think I will miss loading up the beast and the smell of the old coat. Anyways my question is concerning the heat exchanger in the furnace plenum. Will it be ok left in the plenum for the shoulder season when the oil burner kicks on or should I slide it out and seal up the plenum? When I was installing it last fall I did check the temps from the plinth at the heat exchanger mounting brackets and it was about 180 and I also ran the boiler at 180 - 190 so I think it should be fine. Just wondering what others think or have done -  but I'm probably overthinking things again. ???
