Dial It In: Residential Boiler Combustion Testing & Analysis

Kevin Shea, NTI

This one-hour training provides a focused, hands-on overview of residential boiler combustion testing and analysis, designed for technicians and installers seeking to improve system safety, efficiency, and performance. Participants will learn how to properly use combustion analyzers, interpret key measurements such as O₂, CO₂, CO, excess air, and stack temperature, and understand how these values relate to burner setup and overall boiler operation. The course also covers baseline testing procedures, common combustion faults, adjustment techniques, and documentation best practices to support code compliance and customer confidence. By the end of the session, attendees will be equipped to perform accurate combustion tests and make informed adjustments to optimize residential boiler performance.

Presto-Link Demonstration & Training

David Newman, FW Webb

Take the guess work out of trying to read your technicians and drivers’ handwriting when it comes to leak checks, pressure tests, and flow and lock up. By connecting a smart phone or tablet via blue tooth to the Presto Link device, you can efficiently document all testing, as well as checking how much vacuum is on a new tank before attempting to prep it for service. No more “pencil whipping” numbers onto a piece of paper to be read by office staff – a clean document can be saved to your database. Appliance model and serial numbers can also be documented in the device. A great tool for technicians, office workers and management.
