I performed the annual service on the Peerless oil boiler, which included replacing the nozzle, oil filter, and strainer, as well as brushing and vacuuming the boiler and smoke pipe. I re-cemented the smoke pipe connection into the chimney and checked both the pump pressure and pump cutoff. During the safety check, I found that the boiler had no water and the water feeder was stuck. I bumped the feeder to restore operation, and it began to feed the boiler, though it was not fully filled at the customer’s request. With the customer’s approval, I replaced the water feeder on the boiler and purged the heating zone for the big room, which was not heating properly. Afterward, I performed combustion and draft tests, and all readings were within normal operating range. The boiler is currently working as it should. We will need to return to clean the Viessmann unit. At this time, I recommend replacing the oil tank legs, as they are heavily rusted and could pose a safety concern if left unaddr
