I just got an email from my wife. The repair guy from our oil company came out to do our annual tune-up on the furnace and water heater this morning. She forwarded his ovservation that "we need a new top and new baffles, and he will order it and someone will presumably get in touch with you for an e stimate."
As I recall, the baffles spread out the heat from the burner evenly over th e boiler tubes. Not so sure what the "top" is. Hopefully not the tubes. Any thought on this so that I can be better prepared when they call?
