They IDed one problem right off the bat &#8212; our boiler was essentially configured backwards&#8230; heating the center of the house first rather than the perimeter and plumbed to dump ice-cold water back into the boiler creating condensation that would eventually destroy the appliance (and in our case, prematurely age it a bit)&#8230; It only took an hour or so of hustle and effort (I could tell they were hustling a it and appreciated the haste in a situation where &quot;time = money&quot;) to get the system configured correctly and stop some small leaks.<\/p>\n<p>Once the boiler was plumbed properly, they blew out the lines and within just a few minutes we heard hissing air coming from the culprit &#8212; a cracked copper pipe about 6 inches from the outside wall. Within the hour, the had the area open, fixed and refilled&#8230; and then again tackled the boiler to ensure it was clean, safe and within spec (CO2 emissions-wise)&#8230; it is now (but wasn&#039;t before).<\/p>\n<p>They showed up at 9:00 and were out by 12:30&#8230; problem found, problem fixed and system updated and cleaned&#8230; I wish we&#039;d have called them in the first place.
