:confused: :confused: I woke this morning with no heat the house has baseboard heat I went to furnace and the pilot was out so I lit the pilot and the furnace kicked on went upstairs still no heat So I went back to furnace and the pilot was still lit, but the furnace was not running I then tried to turn the electric off to see if that would help, but nothing Then I looked at the water pump and it only has 5 pounds of pressure, Please help what could be wrong, or am I doing something wrong

Many things could be wrong. What kind of boiler? How old? Low water cut-off maybe. If this is not a low pressure steam boiler... the pressure is too low should be around 12 psi.
