Oil - sounds like it's running but no heat...
So I can hear the typical 'circulation water drip' sound my heat usually makes whenever it kicks on... but the temperature just keeps going down.
It's oil heat, a Burnham boiler (you can see the temp is all the way down even though my thermostat is set very high), a Beckett burner (I've already tried hitting the reset button)... and you can see there is oil in the tank. We have old school radiators but I really have no idea what that means in terms of the heating system so I included a photo of that also hah.
Some background - on Jan 1st, we ran out of oil and the tank had to be primed before it was filled... could that affect things now 9 days later? What do I do now? - Thanks!

So it was the primary controller... although to make things far more complicated. Right before the tech arrived I went to turn the heat back on at the thermostat - which promptly fell out of the wall and broke.
Fortunately I had another thermostat (Nest) that I was meaning to install anyway.
