Baseboard heat is making a racket - no bleed valves anywhere to be found. Anyway to bleed near the boiler?
Above the green Vent-rite expansion tank is very corroded. This our issue? Or do we need to get bleeder valves installed…or drain/refill entire system? Winter in Massachusetts - don’t want to risk system failure.

Buy Mom some professional service and maintenance for a Christmas Gift. As Mr. T says, "Treat Your Mother Right".

I would replace the air vent and check the air pressure in the E-Tank and take a gander at the tridicator. Noise in the baseboards? A "racket" is a subjective cognitive assessment. I don't know what that means. But, flashing in the boiler? Flow issues? Expansion issues?0

Seriously, I don't like the looks of the flue. I think Mom's heating system deserves a look-over from a new contractor. Not the same guy who has been in there before. Not really a good way to bleed from the boiler without adding a micro bubble bleeder which can be done when the tank is replaced.
Other's here will have further advice.
