As some of you know already, I have an old ~20years old water boiler for a hot water baseboard heat. It's about the time of year in NJ that I don't need heat anymore and I will be working on my boiler to replace the pressure relief valve and a slightly leaky boiler drain valve. But my question here is for the non-heat needing months, do you recomend to turn off the pilot light or to adjust it to a very low level? I believe the previous owner turned it off one year and this promotes rust due to condensation, humidity, etc. etc. I could adjust the flame lower (and of course, shut off the pump and relay) and just leave that run. thoughts?
