Can a cracked boiler be repaired and roughly how much would it cost vs a new one? Oil fired hot water system.

Boiler appears to be cracked because when I fill it, water streams out the front where the burner is attached. Could have cracked last winter when the well pump went bad, house was empty and not winterized. This is in NJ. Stuck with oil because no gas in the street.Can a cracked boiler be repaired and roughly how much would it cost vs a new one? Oil fired hot water system.
Sorry to say , but you're going to have to buy a new boiler and the price to have it torn out /replaced will depend on how many BTUs that you're looking for .Can a cracked boiler be repaired and roughly how much would it cost vs a new one? Oil fired hot water system.
Well depending on the make and age of the unit, if there are any replacement parts available for it. Get me the model and serial number from the unit and I can check to see if there are any parts available for it. You can check out our website

You will need to replace it. Check out the hvac ratings page at my source. Click on boiler ratings to compare brands. You may want to upgrade to a high efficiency unit.
I used to use a product in apartment roof units where replacement was not an option. it was simply called '; boiler sealer'; It was not available to the public but times have changed. Check in your area with commercial boiler service companies , or possibly find a welder with portable equipment. you will have to drain the system but it is cheaper than a new boiler
