He was down there for a little while, replaced the thermal couple (which he charged extra for), and then had some bad news: the low water cutoff was shot, and since he said the boiler was built in 1991, he recommended replacing it, since the low water cutoff replacement would cost about $1500.
A few weeks later I got a slip in the mail with a very high estimate for a new boiler.
So I called another plumber, and had the low water cutoff replaced for $645. Brand new (the entire assembly), for almost a third of the price he claimed it would cost. The boiler works fine, and was built to 1991 code - that doesn't mean it is from 1991 - the code was in effect a while. The boiler is old but since there have been almost no advancements in the quality of steam boilers over the years -- in fact the higher efficiency ones go even faster -- and 2 different plumbers told me the boiler was in decent shape -- I consider a $645 repair money well spent.
On top of all this, he did not actually service the boiler. The sight glass was almost not possible to see through. The boiler was totally dirty. He did nothing but change the thermal couple. I had to pay the other plumber who repaired the low water cutoff to re-service the boiler. That's great he didn't want to be bothered working on such an old boiler but I paid for the service.
Installed a vertical support and painted the pipe to meet code and tested the line.
I will never use this company again.
You can get someone over in a short time and they come punctually.
The lady in the office calls when the plumber is on his way.
They are neat and organized and very informative.
