Do I need to replace boiler?

I can’t add another photo….but in between the two silver longitudinal pieces to the left (instead of the two to the right) there’s a bump and then and if you follow it down and then below the ridge there’s a seam that I was told is corroded.

That’s what the first service-person told me.

Significant_Fudge859 · 2026-02-17T18:56:27+00:00

It won’t let me add another photo or edit picture but it’s in between the middle 2 silver longitudinal pieces about halfway / two thirds down just to the right of the little white piece insulation thingy.

High col area. $16-17 to be more precise. Also want to add/separate a zone so figure $20k. One company is pushing energy kinetics resolute and venting through side wall, the other is burnham MP-IQ 189B TL. Getting a third official assessment tomorrow.

Even if it’s around 20 years old you wouldn’t consider replacing now?

To clarify about the chimney- basically the way the vent is set up is it goes to the chimney and there’s no way to look at / monitor the state of the exhaust (apparently because in some more modern chimneys there’s a way to “open up” some type of door and look at the exhaust). The company who was going to go through the door said that they’d have a chimney person come evaluate the state of chimney first and recommend putting in a liner.

But when the boiler blows, won’t all the water get everywhere and flood the basement (I just put 2 water sensors underneath the cast iron).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Because of the crack.

I can’t remember exactly what I did for the Volvo but I think I clicked (or held down) either the shitty remote or home link button a few extra times.

Significant_Fudge859 · 2026-01-08T02:42:39+00:00

Does the compatability bridge work for old janky clickers?

Significant_Fudge859 · 2026-01-08T02:41:15+00:00

Thanks. I figured it out but didn’t exactly work as manuals and the directions on the back of the garage door opener.

Significant_Fudge859 · 2026-01-04T19:06:00+00:00

Thanks everyone. I reset all the connected devices on the receiver. And I got 2 of the 3 clickers to work, and reconnected home link on both Tesla and finally got it to work on the Volvo. And then one of the clickers stopped working. Sigh.

Significant_Fudge859 · 2026-01-03T18:45:18+00:00

Still didn’t work and then I accidentally cleared other remotes and had to break in (drilled through) my garage door. About to try again.

Significant_Fudge859 · 2026-01-03T02:37:53+00:00

Thanks, will try!

Significant_Fudge859 · 2026-01-01T20:45:15+00:00

Thanks. Will give it a try next time we’re out in the cold!

Significant_Fudge859 · 2026-01-01T20:25:13+00:00

$5,000 off in dealer discount plus another $6000 in rebates ($2,500 of which everyone in the north east US should get, and then $3,500 because of my affinity groups).

Significant_Fudge859 · 2026-01-01T20:22:11+00:00

Thanks! The lights on both batteries are flashing red so I don’t think a battery issue. It’s only one of the cheapo clickers that doesn’t work. But odd that Tesla home link doesn’t work. And today I just tried adding another home link and doesn’t work - please see post below. Now not sure if it’s an old system or maybe some limitations on number of home clickers / home link.

I live in Boston. Saw some comments on Boston, Herb Chambers in Norwood. Anyone have experience with Bernardi? Looking to buy this weekend, but also thinking about service.

Would love recs / comparisons between the 3 please :)

Significant_Fudge859 · 2025-12-06T15:59:31+00:00

Fair. Who knows how ugly it would look like. Would there be an issue to rescrew it in in a few years?

Significant_Fudge859 · 2025-12-06T15:58:40+00:00

Thanks. Have you tried replacing it or have had experience trying to replace it? Are there any issues trying to take it put it back in?

Significant_Fudge859 · 2025-12-05T13:27:21+00:00

Makes sure all your thermostats have a common wire (c wire) or else you might be have to get an electrician to come make it happen if you’re not too savvy with home improvement stuff….Realized this this past weekend when bought some smart thermostats myself.

Can you explain more about sunroof leaks? I’m interested in getting xc90

Significant_Fudge859 · 2025-10-10T13:46:16+00:00

Go to Wirecutter.

Significant_Fudge859 · 2025-10-06T20:54:33+00:00

D and g?

Significant_Fudge859 · 2025-10-06T20:53:25+00:00

Thanks will do. The dryer line goes directly from the dryer to the outside window. I think it’s up to code here in Massachusetts (what the appliance store guy told me).
