Scale from hard water is hard to diagnose until it starts causing problems. If your area has particularly hard water, that’s most likely what your boiler is using. If scale build-up becomes a problem, it starts to cause decreased flow and heating, and eventually, valve failures as valves become blocked. Let boiler professionals know if you’re worried about scale and they can offer advice or implement a solution.

Generally speaking, an oil furnace is safer than a gas furnace for a number of reasons. Both types create carbon monoxide, with the potential for deadly leaks, but it's easier to detect an issue with an oil furnace because you smell the problem almost immediately. Also, oil furnaces don’t connect to a pipeline, reducing the chances of a leak in the first place. Finally, heating oil is not combustible, and natural gas is, so there’s no chance of an explosion and a reduced chance of a fire with an oil furnace.
