NYC DEP says covered backflow devices must be tested every 12 months by a New York State-certified tester. Initial testing has extra sign-offs; annual reports have specified signatures.
What to check locally
Ask specifically whether GEN-215B paperwork, plumber sign-off and DEP submission are part of the quoted scope.
Service eligibility, property circumstances and regulatory responsibility depend on your address. A company serving the region may not be qualified, registered or available for every building and system. Always check with the relevant authority and service provider.

- Describe the specific project, equipment and site access to each company.
- Ask the same questions about exclusions, paperwork, credentials and timing.
