    Hot water only when house baseboard is on.
    Have a Weil Mclain CGS Gold boiler. There is no domestic hot water unless I turn on the CH. This was no problem during the winter as the CH was always on, however, with warm weather the CH is usually off. Should I assume a thermostat issue between the boiler and the tank?

    Sure...

    Could be the aquastat (thermostat) or the DHW relay (if present). One easy way to test the low-voltage aquastat is to jump the control (i.e. spin the 2 wires going to the aquastat together). If the boiler fires, you found the problem. Testing the relay is harder to discuss without knowing the exact relay you have.

Hot water baseboard heating [ 1 Answers ]

I have a 5 zone baseboard hot water heating system. When the thermostats call for heat and the zone valves open, there is a loud thumping and the pipes vibrate. This is a momentary problem when the valve first opens and has only recently happened. The system is 2 years old with no other problems.
