Boiler-Chemical Cleaning
Vigilante visited for our annual boiler maintenance today (nat. gas boiler). They said we need a chemical cleaning which will cost $500+ today, or $700+ if they have to come back another time(I said come back). Any opinions on the necessity of this and what a reasonable price is?

Oh Vigilante. How totally unlike them, to show up and say you better decide fast or it will cost you even more money. SODECIDERIGHTNOWTOGIVEUSMONEYORELSE...

Many years ago, Vigilante used to do all the work in our building. They used to be a wonderful company, but that description no longer seems apt. We also use natural gas, and do run a cleanser through our system annually. The recommendation might be worth heeding; the demand to do it now or pay more for another visit...not so much. Scuttlebutt suggests their employees are paid commissions on a per job, per visit basis. Leave it to you to figure out where the $200 escalation applies.

Try AAL, I had this done a few years ago for less than $200.
