Hello HVAC people,

Its cold up here in Canada and my little mini-gas boiler is misbehaving.
can anyone tell me what this little red button does? Because when I press it, the furnace will turn on. But for some reason it keeps shutting off again & again and still cold Brrrrr.

Red button location

Thanks for any help you can offer, any tips or even the name of that little switch will help!!

Thats a roll out switch. The flame is back drafting which is not good.

Blockage in chimney, flue or the boiler is really dirty.

Which was it.

Cold here in alberta.

I agree with the above or you may not have enough combustion air near the boiler. But I would guess plugged heat exchanger

Isn't that an induced draft boiler?
