Fire up the boiler?

It’s such a predictable October thread, but we’re new owners of a 4 story townhouse and we’re looking for the right way to awaken our 150,000 BTU gas boiler from its summer slumber.

A plumber is perhaps in order, as our knowledge of these devices is very limited, but some have said that service contracts are the way to go, and I’d love a recommendation for that route if anyone out there is satisfied with the maintenance the receive from a plumbing / heating company.

Or, does anyone else feel like this is superfluous, and a one-time visit from a solid plumber is the way to go?

Many thanks.
