I want my boiler inspected

My two year old opened the drain and let out about a gallon from my floor heating boiler. Anybody recommend a guy to come out and inspect my boiler?

Inspect it for what? Bleed the system and go. Any problems will become apparent really quick.

I'm more worried your child didn't get burned.

It was a while ago, in the middle of summer so the water was barely warm. I'm about to take off the spout handle so it cant be turned. There doesn't seem to be an auto-fill feature on this boiler, so I dont know if its low on water or not. And I have no idea how to bleed it.

Don't those usually get filled with glycol, not water?

i get mine inspected yearly at the request of the city. In the notice it says a master plumber needs to run a bunch of tests and send in the form to the city.

Pm me if you want my plumbers contact info. Cost around $150 the last time I did it.

That is the back flow prevention test.

They don't actually inspect the boiler or the amount of glycol.

They just make sure the boiler glycol can't contaminate your drinking water.

You can call any major plumber and they will come and look at your boiler.

I've been using Canyon as they installed my system. I think they only charge $100
