I couldn't figure out what other forum I should put this in.
Anyway I have a solar heating system with an oil boiler as a backup. My solar handles my needs almost exclusively but I do use the oil boiler about 12 days/year in part to keep it loosened up and there are rare occasions the solar has extended cloudiness and the boiler is required.
I have an oil maintenance guy come every year to maintain my boiler and have to ask myself does it require yearly maintenance if it's actually been used only 12 days since last cleaning? It's a Peerless tankless oil boiler with a Beckett pump. Maybe my question is more, should it be maintained regardless of use or am I maintaining it too often since I hardly use it? Thanks
