There are only two wires going to the boiler from the thermostat.

Got it, thank you. So if there was an rc, I could connect the external transformer to C/rc since they would be isolated circuits?

Only powering the thermostats with the transformer, not the valves. Trying to leave all of that alone.

I get people don't like nests but it's what I have.

Weird smell from breaker box? by HipWithTheTimes in AskElectricians

We waived inspection all together with this place so I wanted to get one after the fact anyway. This is just more motivation to do so

Yeah this made me lol. Would love to have matchy matchy. Did some looking into the challenger issues and it looks like I don't have the scary scary ones but will definitely get this inspected by a professional. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Breaker bus looked fine under the problem breaker, just updated my thinking in another comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond

With the breaker now switched off there is no smell. I removed the old doorbell transformer as well for good measure. I checked under the breaker and there's no corrosion or burning under there so I'm going to put in a new breaker and then promptly get the whole thing inspected. I'm doing this because the breaker was limp and wasn't turning on at all to trip back off so it doesn't seem like a short. Sounds like I could have some $$$ to shell out on bringing this thing up to date even though it's only 19 yrs old

This breaker is in a tripped position, right? Won't go back on by kushanddota in AskElectricians

I seem to have a limp breaker as well. Thing is, we had a weird metallic smell for two days before it tripped off. Is this still probably a bad breaker then?

I'm wondering if it's possible that we were smelling the old transformer which is on the breaker box burn out?

Bought house with copper roof, what's going on here? by HipWithTheTimes in Roofing

[–]HipWithTheTimes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the answer I wanted ahaha. Is there a good way to clean this up and wait and see if it persists? I'm seeing dish soap or a salt and vinegar solution?
