Home Gnome Tip: Boilers have automatic air vents. These bleed air out of the system. air in the system causes noisy pipes and can cause the pump to become air locked and stop water flow. The cap should be 1/4-1/2 turns open to operate properly. If working properly the cap should allow air to vent without releasing water. Like, Follow, and Share.

Home Gnome Tip: If you smell Natural Gas, call a gas certified contractor. They typically can repair the issue and get your gas up and working the same day. If you call your local utility they may lock out your gas at the meter and then it will require 2-3 days to go through the process of getting your gas turned back on. Like, Follow, and Share.
