20 year old HB Smith boiler. Leaking at the tankless coil plate.
I was planning to swap to a heat pump this year thanks to 6 dollar oil. But, apparently so is everyone else. No one has them in stock until sometime next year.
I do still plan to swap over. I have 2 options, well three if I include running a handful of electric space heaters!
Option 1 is throw a bottle of sealant into this rust bucket and hope it works.
Option 2, I have found on craigslist the exact same boiler but in much better shape. I can get it for 450. The seller is an HVAC contractor it is in his own house still operating. So, I assume it has been maintained well. He said the burner was recently rebuilt. He said he'd deliver it and help me hooking it up, for 650.
