in THE MAIN WALL
I had carbon monoxide leaking from my gas boiler because of soot build up do to condensation inside the boiler i have forced hot air, and was told i need a new boiler. another plumber told me i need a new burner because the gas air ratio was off and causing the condensation and that a gas boiler shouldnt soot up because it burns so clean the chimney was fine the leak was coming from the boiler. who is most likley right or are both right ?

    new furnace

    Just for clarification purposes you say that you have a forced air unit?  So this is actually a furnace, not a boiler.  Without taking a look at the unit it would be unwise to give exact advise.  How old is the unit?  Did anyone do a test on the heat exchanger to determine if it has a crack in it?  These are very important questions when determining what to do.  That being said, the replacement cost of a high efficiency furnace is not that great and many states have a good rebate program in place to help homeowners.
