Best Plumber servicing Griswold, CT.
Friends, I called every plumber and they all failed except Plumbums. Some criticized my propane boiler over the phone for being too old and I should just replace it without even seeing it. All the rest came out and declared my boiler was dangerous and should be shut down, followed by words to the effect that owner will be calling me. Then owner calls and says oh, sorry about your unit, but the good news is the tech took lots of pictures (without my knowledge or consent tech trespassed on my privacy sending pictures of my property to entities unbeknownst to me). Turns out these techs are merely "headhunters" in the business of generating leads for new installs. They don't know how to troubleshoot, repair, or use the tools they bring into your home. Shameful! Stick close to the tech and listen when he goes to his truck for a part, that's where he's giving details on your setup. When he returns he will say his boss has ordered him to decommission your unit for safety reasons (meaning they make it so you can't use it), thereby putting you in the proper desperation mindset for a replacement boiler. Create PROBLEM so you are in state of panic and accept their SOLUTION of a new boiler.
Are you curious about the service I was seeking? I wanted to have my boiler flushed/descaled as the owner's manual says this should be done as a part of routine maintenance. Also, I fiddled with the air emitter and it had a slow drip meaning it needed replacing. While here may as well have the combustion analyzed to see if it was at 80% (in spec for this model), and check all unions to be sure they are tight.
Plumbums didn't even ask about age or model, Jim came out, got the part needed (air emitter), which required draining down the water pressure to install, so in the end the water was flushed as part of the part replacement. Jim checked over my unit and found it to be functioning as intended. He did not recommend replacement. For the replacement of the air emitter, the flushing, and looking the unit over, giving me great peace of mind, I felt the cost was 1/2 what others would have charged me and said so to Jim.
If you need a plumber to do routine maintenance, or, a repair, I give Plumbums my highest recommendation. When the time comes to replace this unit I will look to Plumbums for that, as well. Susan who works in the office scheduling was a delight, she is very welcoming and kind. Again, PLUMBUMS IS THE BEST PLUMBER AND THEY SERVICE A WIDE AREA, TOO. read more
