I have an oil boiler and I started noticing that my on venue oil tank was leaking, and for awhile it was a tiny leak that I would just put towels down and immediately mop up.
When I left on a trip and came back a week later, it was a sizable mess. I ended up needing to substitute my carpet due to the oil leakable. I also figured leaking oil is never a superb thing to have in a home. I had to call for a Terrell, TX boiler repair to see if they could assess the damage. So what I had was corrosion in the oil tank. The entire tank needed to be substituted. I could have paid for the repair and been back in business. I saw an chance for improvement. I decided that rather than spend my money for the repair I would do an oil to gas conversion instead. My Terrell boiler business does that sort of stuff all the time. Changing from oil to gas was quite simple. The tank was detached and gas hookups and a flue system were installed. Then I got ample square footage back, not dependent on oil deliveries, and a more reliable heating device. Having a gas boiler is just so much better in my opinion; Now I am on it to not experience any boiler repairs though. I don’t want to potentially have issues with my brand new boiler that will reduce the lifespan of it. My goal is to keep this heating system operating for 20 years. Hopefully I can treat it just right.
