grannys gone and done it

[twisted-acres-farm]

We as in both the motel and the country can and do loose electric power in the winter. Thus electric heaters don't work. The new boiler that is being installed has an electronic ignition instead of a standing pilot light(flame) so if I have no electric the boiler will not start or the damper open to allow fumes/exhaust to escape . This is the new rule/regulation pass on the federal level.

Please let me know if you have more questions

on the bright side (if you look really hard) this new boiler is about 85% efficient the old one (installed in 1965) was about 50% efficient

Thank you all for making me feel welcome!
Wishing, my "Goodneatstuff" name came from a bag full of small antique beauty items that I found at a yard sale many years ago that had a sticker on it that said "GOODNEATSTUFF - $2.00". Victorian-type, fancy stuff.. a little mirror, tweezers, a tiny comb, etc. Needless to say I couldn't resist it. I'm now also working on getting a website gift shop going. So, you were pretty close..

Well I kinda do! I read where you said electric ignition for the boiler was the new rule and it didn't work if power went out.

What is that? What is a boiler? We had fuel oil in Mi. And, I'm still wondering sans doggie heat (or a nice "broody" hen) how the heck do you heat?

its hot water heat. The boiler/furnace heats the water which is sent through pipe to the various rooms depending on what each rooms thermostat is calling for. This is controlled by the used of electric recirculating water pumps. 1 pump for each thermostat. the pipe heat through radiators in the rooms and the colder water is returned back to boiler to be reheated.

The boiler is ran by natural gas sort of like an outdoor gill

better??

Better! Till you mentioned "Electric recirculating pumps" Scenario: You have NO electricity. How do you heat then?

even with out the electric recirculation pumps running they still allow enough hot water to slowly go through the pipes which is enough to keep all the water in the rooms from freezing so no exploding toilets and drinking water pipes bursting. The rooms aren't really comfortable enough to be dressed "normally" but with winter gear on you can survive.
