What to do if my Nature's Comfort NCB-175 is leaking water?
If your Nature's Comfort Boiler is leaking water, here are potential causes: * **Condensation from first start-up**: Wait 24 hours to heat up and dry out. * **Condensation from wet wood**: Burn only seasoned hardwood. * **Condensation from running below 150F**: Adjust the aquastat to 165-180 with a 15 degree differential.
How to make Nature's Comfort NCB-175 come up to temperature?
If your Nature's Comfort Boiler is not reaching the desired temperature, it could be due to using green or soft wood. Switch to using dry, hard wood. Also, if the boiler is exposed to wind, place one or two inches of hard board insulation under the boiler between the legs, and then add 1x10s between the legs to hold up the insulation.
What to do if Nature's Comfort NCB-175 Boiler is steaming but the temperature is 180 degrees or lower?
If your Nature's Comfort Boiler is steaming while at a temperature of 180 degrees or lower, it's likely due to poor water circulation. To address this, consider changing to a larger pump and ensure the return line comes in on the opposite lower end.
How to keep Nature's Comfort NCB-175 fire lit?
To keep the fire lit in your Nature's Comfort Boiler, make sure to leave some coals in the burn area. Also, regularly clean the ash out of the ash pan and check the area behind the ash pan to ensure there is no ash buildup blocking the blower airway.
Why is my Nature's Comfort NCB-175 Boiler burn time so poor?
Poor burn time in your Nature's Comfort Boiler can be attributed to a couple of factors. Using green or soft wood instead of dry, seasoned hard wood is a common cause. Also, if the damper is open too far, it can affect burn time. To resolve this, switch to dry, seasoned hard wood and adjust the damper to be ¼” open at its widest point.
Why does my Nature's Comfort NCB-175 overheat?
Your Nature's Comfort Boiler may overheat due to several reasons: an air leak (make sure the loading door is sealed and adjust if necessary, and ensure the ash pan is shut), the damper being open too far (adjust the damper to ¼” open at the widest point), low water levels in the boiler (add water to keep it full), or an aquastat malfunction (replace the aquastat).
What to do if Nature's Comfort NCB-175 Boiler is up to temperature but there is little to no heat in the house?
If your Nature's Comfort Boiler is up to temperature but you're experiencing little to no heat in your house, it could be due to several reasons. First, check for poor circulation by touching the pex line leaving and returning to the boiler; little or no temperature difference indicates poor circulation. You may need to change to a larger pump. Other potential causes include a plugged heat exchanger (clean it and add a y-strainer, using treatment), an improperly designed installation (reduce the number of 90’s and T’s used), or insufficient insulation in the building (add insulation to the structure).
What to do if the aquastat is calling for heat but the Nature's Comfort NCB-175 unit is not running?
If the aquastat is calling for heat but your Nature's Comfort Boiler unit isn't running, check these: * **Control switch is off**: Turn on the switch. * **Failed aquastat**: Replace the aquastat.
What to do if the blower turns on but the solenoid doesn’t open the damper in my Nature's Comfort Boiler?
If the blower in your Nature's Comfort Boiler turns on but the solenoid doesn’t open the damper, it could be due to: * **Loose electrical connection**: Turn the power off and check all wire connections. * **Solenoid failed**: Replace the solenoid.
What to do if my Nature's Comfort NCB-175 Boiler is overheating?
If your Nature's Comfort Boiler is overheating, there could be several reasons: * **Air leak**: Ensure doors and covers are sealed and adjust if necessary. * **Blower output damper open too far**: Adjust the damper. * **Poor circulation**: Use a larger pump or pipe, and reduce the number of fittings. * **Water level**: Add water to keep the boiler full. * **Aqua-stat malfunction**: Replace the aqua-stat. * **Not enough demand or warm weather**: Load smaller amounts to prevent a large coal bed from over-producing.
