I am looking for a contractor in or near Boston MA with experience in pneumatic controls in a two-pipe steam system. This is an intact Johnson Controls system with 14 zones which we are reluctant to update. Johnson Controls in our area is no longer servicing these historic systems- so hoping there is someone with experience who can help us out.

You should be able to find someone. Pneumatics systems used to rule the world. Every building had them. All those systems weather they are Johnson, Honeywell, Robert Shaw, Barber Coleman or Krauter were all pretty much the same. If a tech can work on one system, they can work on them all.

I am in Western MA. and retired so I don't know anyone in the area. You could just try calling some independent control contractors who will probably try to get you to rip it all out and use DDC. But IMHO Pneumatics are reliable and work well with some maintenance. Control Consultants in Weymouth was a control distributor (supply house) they sold out to Kele Associates in Weymouth. there phone # is below. They sell controls to control contractors so they should know someone who can do pneumatics as they sell pneumatic parts.

Good luck.
