Ended up with a cracked heat exchanger

For a long time, I neglected my boiler simply because I didn’t want to call for service. Then it turned into me not calling for a repair. I figured that the concern would work itself out. In hindsight, that is dumb. No repair magically fixes itself. It started with me missing service and my boiler

For years I would reliably call my local Chicago A/C maintenance company for seasonal service. I would have an appointment every Spring plus allow them to scrub the inner workings.
