My boiler started developing what it seemed a leak for some time, you could see the marks of water in front plate, but it was dry.
It got worst because since the pellet stove has been off for a couple days due to the auger going bad, the boiler has been working more and the leak is obvious and water coming out.
A tech with good reputation from a friend came up and told me there's nothing I can do because the cast iron where the front plate is mounted is gone, one of the bolts tripped and fell off alone.
I shut off the boiler last night to prevent potential big damage but I guess it was too late.
Pellet stove is off waiting for auger part to arrive and boiler is off, so you can imagine: no heat and no hot water.
My boiler is a Peerless and the tech said he installs a different brand called McLane or something like that, rated better with 4 sections instead of 3 and more BTUs and higher efficiency and all that.
He will do the replacement and asked $5,800 dollars...............WTF.
This is a big setback.
Just need some guidance.....
