I have a Hb Smith steam boiler,which used to work beautifull.Starting from 50 degrees inside the house it could easily reach 68 to 70 degrees in 35 minutes.The old burner was replaced with a high effecency flame retention Beckett burner,which sounds like a jet plane over the house!But now it takes approx 90 minutes to reach temp,the burner cycles constantly as the pressuretrol builds up quickly.Could the new burner be over firing?Any tips would be appreciated
