NYC Contractors: Boiler Maintenance (NYC plumbers revisited)

Submitted by on October 9, 2008 – 1:28 pmNo Comment

After having the heating systems taken offline for the summer to conserve energy, I called Mr. Rooter to do a “pre-firing” inspection of the boilers and associated components. Throughout the past 3 years Mr. Rooter (specifically Gary Forbes) had done an outstanding job of maintaining and upgrading the plumbing and my heating systems. However, my appointment today seemed casually brushed aside due to another job that was “running long” (do they actually only have one technician?!). While they were prompt in letting me know they were delayed, the appointment was ultimately cancelled by Mr Rooter.

I’m “demo’ing” NY City Boilers (http://newyorkcityboilers.com/) specifically for this season opening and will write more after the appointment.
