Good advice.

Over many decades, have had real good technicians do service/repairs wilst a few were absolutely useless.

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.
