I have a very old hot water boiler in my basement that takes care of all of my heating.
And recently I had a major issue with it.
This was totally predictable to be completely honest because it is so old, but the boiler had a leak that was starting to cause a major flood in my basement. So I called the local heating and air conditioning company to send out a certified heating and cooling specialist to come out and repair the hot water boiler, which they did. However while the heating and cooling specialist from the local heating and air conditioning company was here they told me that it would be in my best interest if I went and invested in a new form of heating or get a brand new hot water boiler that is more up to date and start over. My hot water boiler is roughly 35 years old, so it is about time it was on its last leg. The thing is I can not afford to invest in a new hot water boiler at this very moment in time. However, if it ends up getting too risky I will invest in one this coming summer before next year’s cold winter months arrive. That would be the most probable wise thing to do in this situation. I do not want to switch over to central heating because it cost way too much money to run with as cold as it gets here in the area in which I happen to live in.
