Hey! I think this is more of a furnace question, but…

Bought this place a while back and have been trying to get this boiler running. Finally fixed all the wiring and pipes. So, went ahead and filled it up with water. Felt it was taking a while.

Went inside to use the bathroom and funnily enough heard water trickling. Pulled off my floor air vent and lo and behold, there was water in my vent.

Turned off the hose and drained the wood boiler, and the water is gone from my vent.

I am assuming this means the Acoil or something is busted. But I can’t find any documentation or posts about how water could end up in my vents from filling my wood boiler.

Has anyone heard of this happening before??
