Hello,
I'm having a problem with my oil boiler. Upon returning from vacation recently I came home to the water being completely drained out of the valve. Upon refilling it as my system is manual fill, the boiler started and the heat came on. The thermostat is an automatic timing one where I had the heat turned off. No matter what I did with the thermostat the heat remained on and the boiler would not stop. I called a technician and he proceeded to unplug the wires declaring they were old and need to be replaced and that a plumber part like a spark plug was needed for a cut off valve as it was not functioning. They then changed their story that the whole system was bad and needed to be replaced. I reconnected the wires and the boiler does start up immediately. Does anyone have any suggestions on what this could be? The tech said the boiler itself was fine and it seems to be either this plumbing part or wires.. yet with power being supplied why would the wires need to be replaced?
