That will surely make repairing my already rare gas boiler even harder to find parts for. I'm replacing the low water cut off switch every other year. I changed out the blower once, the new one is loud and I fear it will fail again. This is just the most unreliable and difficult to service thing I've ever dealt with.
If I were shifting off of gas, I'd be doing a air to water heat pump over an electric hydronic boiler.
