boiler keeps running

redtoolbox | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

My aquastat is set at 180 and the boiler will not reach that temperature so it keeps running.  I just had it serviced.  Any ideas?  thanks

    since it was just serviced

    give them a call.

    Pretty reasonable to assume the service had something to do with the problem.

    Otherwise, cut the power to the boiler and pumps-this might reset the system if there's a controller problem.

    After a couple minutes, power it up again.

    Make sure there's water in it.
