Got a home with 1940s vintage oil fired steel boiler (btw it's massive!) feeding a 1 1/4" monoflow system supply 19 Arco concealed cast iron convectors.
going to replace boiler with a buderus G215/4 with riello oil burner.
Issue: heating zones:
Late 1970s, owner built a 23'x15' family room extension and installed hot water baseboard. Plumber added baseboard circuit by tapping into supply side of boiler, before monoflow supply valve.
family room has one thermostat (baseboard), the other thermostat in dining room (convector).
Problem is the boiler runs all the time because of baseboard cooling down so quickly, but the rest of the house is scorching even with the dining room thermostat at 60!
how do I solve this uneven heating problem? Do I remove baseboard and add cast iron convectors? do I throttle back each convector on the monoflow loop?
