Oil fired steam boiler has massive leak
Hello, I purchased a home about a year ago built in 1900 with an ancient Arcoliner 120k BTU oil fired steam boiler. It got us through last winter but the other day it had completely leaked out all of its water through the bottom. I refilled it slightly and it all leaked out again fairly quickly. I would love to save the boiler but i dont know if thats possible now (or worth it) and I am just looking for advice or recommendations. Of course I would like the financial impact to be as little as possible. Natural gas is available in my area ($800 to run the line to our house). We planned on living in this house for about 5 years or so then renting it out. Also, if anyone has a referral for someone in the RI area that they trust for home heating solutions, please PM me the information.
Thank You
Tim
