Reply to comment by glo46 in Did your heating fail to keep your temp up last weekend when it was below 10 deg? by Blecher_onthe_Hudson

Assuming your boiler is in the basement like mine, with four stories you need to have the pressure up at 25 psi to make it up to the top.

Have you sprung any leaks?

No leaks so far! However I don't have a basement, so my boiler is on my first floor. My 3rd & 4th floors are small 1 bedrooms so they luckily don't use too much heat.

My water heater though definitely shows signs of previous leaks and is due for a replacement due to age. That being said, it still heats up water like a champ (although there's only 4 people in the building so it doesn't need to work that hard)
