Looking for Steam Heat Expert near Western Pennsylvania

I am in search of a steam expert that would do work in Western Pennsylvania, near Johnstown. I have used a local company who claimed to be steam experts only to find out in the end, they weren't really experts. When I purchased the house I had 2 heating sources, a Burnham V76 and an EFM Coal Furnace. Once they were done "servicing" I was left with only my coal furnace. I'll save the details, for another time but now am in search of someone that could replace the Burnham that is a really big paper weight in my basement now. I attached some photos of the Burnham tag for reference.

    You'd be best off having an Expert here consult for you and have a good local guy (open minded) follow the spec. Mad Dog

    Start by properly sizing the Burnham replacement. How many sqft of radiation is it connected to (we can help with that if needed)? Current boiler supports 692sqft and probably at least 10% more. Show us a photo or two of the current piping around the boiler from a couple angles.

    The Burnham boiler looks brand new/just uncrated.

    Which EFM coal stoker do you have a DF520, 700 or 900 or an actual EFM A520 coal stoker hot air furnace?
