Once a heating season is the usual interval, done as part of an annual burner service. Skipping it is the single most common reason an older unit locks out during a cold snap.
Yes. A technician checks the tank's exterior for weeping seams, sweating and pitting along the bottom seam, and can pull a sample from the bottom to see how much water has collected.
An intermittent lockout usually means a marginal component, a partly restricted fuel line, or a dirty cad cell that reads flame inconsistently. Repeated resets stack unburned fuel in the chamber, so it's better to have the cause found than to keep pressing the button.
It can be, though the payback depends on the existing distribution piping and how much of the heat loss comes from the shell rather than the boiler. A technician does a load calculation before that question can be answered honestly.
