Ask your friends and neighbors who they trust, for heating work. Call for
estimates. We can't see it from here. It's possible it can be repaired, it's
possible the newer system will pay for itself. We can't tell you what to do.

I have a hot water system in my home with the old fashioned cast iron
radiators, currently heated by a Peerless gas fired boiler dating to 1980.
It appears to be leaking - started it up this weekend and now there is water
on the floor around it. Not a lot of water, but some - never happened
before. It is not coming from the pressure relief valve. Also the pressure
is reading zero, which I have never seen before. Two questions - (a) any
chance it does not need to be replaced? (b) If it is time to replace it,
should I get one of those ultra high efficiency units? Any recommendations?
Thank you, -- H
