Help me find a steam boiler contractor that serves Vernon, Connecticut

Options

I need help finding a contractor that specializes in steam boiler replacement that serves the Vernon, Connecticut area.

Our beloved Weil Mclain steam boiler (yes, outside of the difficulties of cleaning, it has performed well, quietly and within the expectations of efficiency), with several generations of burners.

It is (and always was too large), and after over 30 years of service has developed a leak between the 7th and 8th sections, which has been reluctantly been "fixed" with the use of Hercules Boiler Solder (seems to have worked, but not sure how long this stuff lasts, but it has certainly messed up the "ph" of the boiler, and seem unresponsive to my 8-Way boiler water treatment product.

Looking for a steam-competent contractor with a good understanding of the importance of dry steam, near boiler piping, etc.

Access to the basement is very good with 4' wide concrete stairs via bulkhead doors.

The basement work area is clean and well lit.

Planning to have the work done before the middle of November 2025, when this boiler usually is first called on to produce steam, though could probably get to the spring of 2026 if the product claims of Hercules Boiler Solder is to be believed… (don't know, and would like to avoid finding out…)

I would appreciate some insight as to who in the area does this type of work, I have reached out to New England Steam works that no longer serves Connecticut, and they have graciously directed me to "Heating Help" for possible referrals.
