You fucking moron.
Seeing as you don't have clue # fucking one about boilers,
just STFU.
Anyone who KNOWS anything about boilers and has read the OP
knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

Or, you could just replace the current aquastat relay on the unit with a
triple aquastat relay like Honeywell L8124A1007 which will do the same thing
as the current one, with the addition of the low temp cut in, which you can
set as low as 110

( sigh )
I can see I'm going to have to spell this out for you.
During the summer months, as the boiler is not serving DHW, he
needs to TURN IT THE FUCK OFF, not 'maintain it at 110'.

Aside from what your tech has indicated, I've found that boilers that were
allowed to go cold during summer months, tended to develop premature leaks
between the sections from the expansion and contraction

This is simply not true. And his "tech" is no tech.
