Steam heat expert in Calgary, Canada?

Options
I have been trying for a few years to find somebody with steam heat experience in Calgary, Alberta. No luck so far - most won't touch, others say they know, but I know more than they do, and that is scary...

Thanks,

    that is why so many homeowners come here to learn. I have done all my own maintenance for over 40 years now and several homeowners on this board have installed new steam boilers with the advice of others here.

    I hope the home owners had a license and filed the proper permits….There is a bit more to it than the laymen might think...

    I've been known to do out-of-town consulting, if that would help. And I do have a current passport.

    I was there last month. That would have been a fun field trip.
    Retired and loving it.
