Hot Water System FAQ:


I was just running a hot bath to relax of all things and the dux hot water system (air) is making this awful grinding sound, it just kept making the noise even after i turned the hot water off. It started when i turned on the hot water though.

We turned off the power to the hot water system at the power box and it stoped.

Anyone who might know what this is please help…

Hot Water System FAQ:


I have a 2 family house that was vandalized wherein the copper pipes and steam radiators were taken away leaving the two steam boilers. The house needs at least 11 steam radiators to bring it back to work and these radiators are costly. I have been advised to buy used radiators and put the system back to work. As it may be difficult to find used radiators, I am thinking of putting new hot water boilers and putting baseboard heating units. I am looking forward for suggestions or alternatives.Also, I wonder whether I can change steam boiler to hot water boiler? The systems are gas based.
Thanks
