    My Brand New Gas Boiler Won't Start?(after I moved thermo)
    I moved the thermostat(disconnected it) and put it back together... any ideas why it won't start??

    BTW I have already crossed the thermostat wires to see if it would start up with no luck. There was a small spark when I did cross them though.


    What do I Have to do to get this thing cooking?

    First thing I would do is call the HVAC company that installed that new boiler. It is under warranty. Next item is obvious. It worked before you disconnected the thermostat so I would figure the problem is with the thermostat connection. Usually when thermostats are installed by a professional they pick the correct location so what was the reason for the move? Also if you extended the wires I would be checking all the splices and connections.

    With the minimal info you supplied the is the best questions and answers I can come up with.

    Thermostat wires are in correct areas...


    As stated

    I crossed the thermostat wires as to bypass the thermostat completely

    Check the fuse on the ignitor panel if so equipped. Also try a complete reset by main power off wait 5 minutes and repower. Larrs are good little boilers. Dinner time here catch up with you in a bit.
