Report
Got in contact with Ming Xu who inspected my boiler as other installers said I needed a replacement boiler. Ming said the boiler was in very good condition and could easily be repaired. I agreed and he repaired it for a lot less than than it would cost for a new boiler. Hopefully the repair and boiler should last another few years. - Thank you, you saved me lots of money.
