Have just moved into a new house, which has a Weil-McClain (GV90+) "Series 2 Gas-Fired" water boiler and radiators throughout the house. It is of course, winter and they're needed.
Its self starting, and relatively new. The previous owner absolutely demanded that I get a hold of his favorite plumbing and heating company, who wants to charge $75.00 just to come out and start it.
It is as I said and have already been told, 'self starting'. I have had a water boiler before, so I'm somewhat familiar with them (have bled the radiators, and lit the pilot light of the back cover, etc) as well as tapped off the water. But this thing seems fancy as hell- with digital numbers, auto pilot, and of course, apparently, much more of a hassle isn't that always the case.
The thing came with a Boiler Manual but its literally a book, over 100 pages long and I'd be darned if it almost seems deliberately confusing. Anyone know anything about starting one of these, or know a good video?
I know people will say, "Worth it to cough up the money" but I have plenty of expenses as is and it really seems a bit overkill to pay someone to come out for a site visit, when I suspect they'll just flip a switch, listen to a few hums and then write up a bill.
The only wild card I can imagine is the house has been sitting vacant awhile, and it was probably drained to be winterized- though it has a water let-in valve.
