Hot Water Boiler Reset Control
Hot Water Boiler Reset Control - Richard, We are looking at replacing our boiler with a new hot water boiler.

Can you tell us what you think about a boiler reset control and how it works?

Thanks, and we have learned so much from High Performance HVAC. And keep up the good work.
