Here is one from the other day. I couldn't get this one to start either because there was no oil in the tank. Can you take a WAG what my recommendations were to the client?

Take apart as much as possible and stick it in the corner of the basement.

LOL...are you a Philly boy Dave? That's pretty much what they do around here in those older row homes with narrow stairs.

Its funny you say that- i actually dismantled my old boiler into as many pieces as i could and used 2 wheel dolly to get it to the alley. Those junk truck guys must have gotten a hernia.

We still come across them in Binghamton. My bigest concern is when the home owner removed all the asbestos. How much of the asbestos dust is in the basement I am inspecting.
