I have a friend who has an oil fired boiler heating base board radiators.
He came home one evening and the boiler was not on. He messed around with it and could not figure it out. Then he remembered his old repair guy saying sometimes they get too dry and you need to add some water. So he added some water and it did start up. I am not familiar with boilers so I have no idea where you would add water, but I assume you guys do.
Here's the thing, not all of the radiators now heat...3 rooms in the house have no heat. He tried bleeding them to make sure there was no air in the pipe, but they were fine.
Any suggestions I could tell him to try?
Cheers.
