Good Steam Plumber in Boston area

Member Posts: 4
Can anybody recommend a steam knowledgeable plumber in the Boston area? We have a old commercial style Paul steam system in our house and it has issues like water hammer, losing water, and huge heating bills. I am considering changing it over to forced hot water since I would like to keep some of the old empire style radiators.
Thanks

Try Ed Wallace
not sure of his phone number but he knows steam.
I wouldn't even think about converting that system. It's likely the radiators are a type that would not work with hot water. Also, hot-water needs at least ten times the pressure of steam, which can cause leaks, and even if the radiators were capable of working with water they might not be big enough to heat the building.
Keep the Paul system. It's fixable.All Steamed Up, Inc.
