Thank you for all the advice.

When the unit goes, I am going to have a sledgehammer party in the driveway.
Will post it here and let you know when and where.

"When it goes?" I hope your changing it before it "dies?" Surer than !@#$ it'll "go" in the middle of a snow storm in January.

It is now 3 years old and under "Eastern" Red Ribbon contract.
Repair or replace.

If the pipes freeze, well that is what the insurance is for.

Thank you for your suggestion.

...ended up going with the Viessmann Vitodens 200 Boiler. When it took a full 4 days to install, with a lot of new piping and wiring, I felt better about the high price...Ha!

I ultimately chose to go with this unit as the heat exchanger and other internals are stainless steel, (as opposed to aluminum), so theoretically it should be less susceptible to corrosion and leaking. And it is amazingly quiet...you cannot hear this thing go on!
