It's cold out.

If you can recommend someone to call that would be great.

Thanks

If you can get to the boiler you could jump a wire across the TT terminals. The voltage is low so no danger. Doing this would not hurt the boiler, but of course it would continue to run until you remove the jumper. If you want to bother I can talk you through it. I'll pm my number if you want to try. If not call Louis at 646 327 8109 tomorrow. A good handyman.
