Baseboard Water Heater

Update – new circulator pump has been installed on our boiler. Temperature for the water is set at 180 degrees.  What should the temperature of the radiators read?

well, you’re obviously pointing the thing at both hydronic and steam systems – it wouldn’t be possible to get a hot water radiator to 250 degrees when the boiling point is 212.

it actually seems to work fine.  the only reason i now ask is because ever since i bought that temperature laser gun i been bringing it over my family members houses.  im pointing that thing at any pipe / radiator related to heating.  and ive seen ranged from 100-250!

So, after all this: http://forum.brownstoner.com/question/IiECkQAFP7g=/boiler-question , you’re still asking for answers about your heating system? Who the heck is your plumber?
