My boiler guy is smart but not openminded.
He has done alot of primary/secondary systems, he has done large commercial heating and cooling systems, he is an engineer, he is a certified geothermal guy, and an AC guy as well. BUT NEVER has installed a wood boiler.
With that said every time I mention something I have read here he cringes and says "trust me I know what I'm doing"
And for the most part I do. But everybody here is talking about mixing valves for controlling the return temp. He says "just keep it simple stupid and lets not over think this" he just wants to put a ball valve to control the return mixing temp. He has actually said "if its a mechanical mixing valve what will operate it" and I said "I don't know you're the guy with the degree".
Am I letting him make a mistake. Should I force him to put in a Tekmar or Danfoss or something else?
If so what controls it?
