Question from Sandy F.
Hi Debra,
Hi, I’m writing on behalf of Linda H., a chemically injured friend. She recently had a new boiler and oil burner/motor installed in the basement of her apartment building in MA. She is on the second floor, and is getting a lot of fumes when the new system runs.
The boiler is a Peerless Premiere and is cast iron, and the burner/motor is made by Burnan (Burnam?). Does anyone have an idea of what the source of the fume problems might be, and what a “fix” or “fixes” might be?
FYI, she has already tried turning the thermostat up to 80 degrees, and leaving the apartment with the windows open for a day, and another day with the heat off while she was elsewhere. When she returned, still the problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
