Brrrr it's cold in here! Boiler maintenance and service

[Brian Roces]

What do you do for your MF properties re: boiler; do you service it before heating season? Just wait until it has an issue? How does one test during off season? We have a new peerless boiler that is 2 years old in an older building the boiler came as part of closing to get a better efficient boiler. The pipe work had to be redone at the cost of $3000 last year. The property manager at the time suggested that we needed to rebalance the system at a cost of $6000. That manager was fired from that company and a new one came on board and said we did not need to rebalance but suggest some internal changes but by that time the worst of winter was past and spring had sprung. The boiler was running okay last month but the electronics needed to be reset. There is an hvac guy there now but I'm not sure what to expect for costs.
