My aquastat is set at 180 and the boiler will not reach that temperature so it keeps running. I just had it serviced. Any ideas? thanks

give them a call.

Pretty reasonable to assume the service had something to do with the problem.

Otherwise, cut the power to the boiler and pumps-this might reset the system if there's a controller problem.

After a couple minutes, power it up again.

Make sure there's water in it.

We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Nature's inexhaustible sources of energy -- sun, wind and tide. ... I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that. --Thomas Edison
