Hi @jjsabby , I've split out your comment into a new thread for you here so as to not have it get mixed up in an old thread (link above). Please feel free to post pictures of your current system and describe the structure/area to be heated so that our community can more readily assist. Thanks!

@jjsabby are you interested in replacing the entire boiler or just the tankless coil portion? There are several different Gas fired Steam boilers. I would not be so concerned with the replacement boiler brand. I would be more interested in the installing contractor. If they don't understand how steam heat works, then you may be purchasing a problem for years to come.
The near boiler piping is very important and you will want to learn about this aspect so you can make sure the installer is not creating a nightmare for you. Crown Boilers have detailed instructions about the near boiler piping and even offer a boiler piping kit with all the correct parts, fittings and pipe nipples to make the job easy to install for even the most basic installer, as long as they can read and follow the pictures. Crown is available thru Johnstone supply and other wholesalers, and manufactured by Velocity Boiler Works in Philadelphia Pa. (Go Eagles 🦅)
