Another way to check source.
Keep off for a long enough time to let all odors leave house.
Then turn on or up thermostat to on.
Start in basement and attempt to find where the odor is coming from.
If not in basement.
Do procedure again. Go to next floor and attempt to find where odor is coming from.
Maybe find a friend, neighbor, relative to help "sniffing".

On another note the Smith company no longer makes residential boilers.

There used to be some independent serivice people not affiliated with any oil/fuel company. Don't know of any right now.

.
The second technician said the smell was coming from the boiler. He just couldn't figure out exactly where. There are independent service people. I just have no way of knowing their level of skill. I was asking about Roy Hubble. Does anyone know of him?
