I haven’t had this service done but a general plumbing referral is to Weber Plumbing. Good luck. BTW, how old do you think the old boiler was, and without asking you to share anything too personal, would be curious to know the ball park for replacement.

The “best plumber in the city?” That can’t be true. But we do a good boiler installation and I’ll take the endorsement. Thank you very much. 🙂
