People also ask
Short cycling on a cast-iron boiler usually traces to an aquastat set wrong, a clogged sensor well, or a system that's oversized for the actual radiator load. A technician measures the run times and firing rate rather than guessing from the symptom.
Often they don't. The radiators themselves outlast several boilers, and many updates in Bethlehem and Rensselaer keep the existing emitters and change only the heat source and controls.
It depends what kind. Ticking as metal expands is normal, while banging or persistent gurgling points at trapped air or a piping problem, and that is worth having a technician look at rather than living with.
Right after the October 20 frost date, when demand climbs from occasional to steady, and again during the first stretch that stays under 10 degrees overnight.
