Instead of chimney liner the vent is through PVC vented outside
Another contract says: New Chimney liner is a MUST for new efficient gas steam boiler regardless of efficiency
Totally confused????

Every steam boiler ever discussed here is at most high 80%'s.
That requires a metal flue chimney of some sort. And if existing masonry, probably needs a new liner.
Are you certain you have a steam boiler?
The person suggesting the PVC may think you have a water boiler, if he looked at your steam boiler and said PVC, don't consider him.
If you post a picture of your boiler we can settle the discussion. Floor to ceiling of 4 sides.0 -
Thanks. It is steam and there is an existing chimney for the newly defunct steam boiler that needs to be replaced.0
