Thanks for the recommendation

A little background info. In the past, we had built a house and the heating contractor recommended a low mass boiler for our hydro air system. We found out later that his installer had never piped one before. It led to lots of literally sleepless nights and a long road to getting it to work as it should. 

So when we bought an 18th century house with one pipe steam, I was determined to get the best heating guy I could. I read Dan’s book to try to educate myself a little and also read many of the horror stories on the Strictly Steam page. 

I came here to the Wall and asked for a recommendation and was told by several people to go with Charles Garrity from W Mass. He installed a new boiler and basically expanded our steam system to heat a wing on the house that was never really heated to any great degree, adding 5 radiators that matched the existing ones and reconfiguring the few that were there. 

We now have so much usable space and Charles did a great job. When we had a couple minor issues, he was very quick to remedy them. 

We now have a very comfortable quiet house. There is nothing like the feeling of stepping into a room with one of those big cast iron radiators pumping out the heat. 

So thanks for the advice, and add me to the list of people who will recommend Charles.

One would expect no less from @Charlie from wmass - he's one of the best.
