Steam Professional in Chicago area

Eric Parker

Does anyone know of a good steam professional i nthe Chicago area who can help me solve water hammer problems once and for all? We have a one pipe system. We have purchased the book "We got steam heat" and tried many of the solutions that do it yourself'ers can do. We are now looking for a pro to help us solve the problem. We've had at least 4-5 come by over the last 2 years that we've been in our house and none seem to know steam well enough.

We have a separate problem with the water feeder overfilling and we also can't get someone to tell us the definite cause of this. They just want to replace it now even knowing if it is truly manfunctioning. Our water feeder is shown here https://www.statesupply.com/displayCategory.do?Id=856

Does anyone know a expert in Chicago area to help me fix these problems? Thanks in advance.

Did you call...

Glenn Harrison? I think he is at Altoff Industries, they are mostly commercial but do residential as well. He posts once in a while and is on the thread, "If you build it they won't come". His e-mail is listed as glennhvacman@comcast.net

I know, Dan, I know

I keep pushing for it, but the boss doesn't do a whole lot of advertising, pretty much word of mouth referals. I will keep pushing tho, I PROMISE!

DanHolohan

Thanks for trying.

You guys could OWN the steam business in Chicago. You wouldn't believe how many calls and emails I get here for help on these systems. Oh well.

Hey, Dan.

Would you be willing to talk to somebody in my office about all these "leads" you get? Maybe if I have you talk to one of my bosses and get them to realize what they are missing, then we could probably get them to sign up. Let me know.

Time to go to work now, I'll check in tonight.

Thanks for all you do, Dan.

DanHolohan

Of course I would

He or she can either call me or email.

Found someone

Hi all,

Thanks for all the information... my wife actually had found someone shortly after I posted the message here. He turned out to be the best we've seen so far. He works at Corrigan Company here in Chicago and they have been doing steam work for quite some time.

Again, thanks for all the response.

Thanks again, Dan. I'll see what I can do. (nm)
