in Strictly Steam

Hello. I live in central CT in an old house with steam heat. I need a new steam boiler in the next few months and I'm hoping to find a few names of highly regarded experts in steam boiler installs. I have a two-pipe vapor system and have just over 500 steam feet of radiators. It's a natural gas system.

Can anyone out there point me to a steam guru?

    Try @Charlie from wmass — one of the best, does Connecticut…

    If he's not too busy. But give him a call (click on his name up there).

    Hi Blue Bishop. I have 40 years experience repairing and installing the very system you have. I installed a Steam Vapor System from scratch with Antique radiators in the early 2000s in my own 1899 Victorian Farmhouse. One of our locations is out of Yonkers, New York (not far) and Matt Jr (The Engineer) and I be happy to come out for a consultation. In 10 days I'm sitting for my State Of Connecticut P1 Master License and will be ready to work anywhere in the Nutmeg State by Summer. Mad Dog

    @Mad Dog_2 the p1 license does not cover steam heating installation. You need an S license for heating.

    Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

    Why? I thought you were retiring in Long Island?

    @Mad Dog_2

    I had an S1 and an E1 (electrical), Let them go a few years after I retired.

    You can do gas with either the P1 or the S1. The S1 is great because it covers gas, oil, refrigeration, AC and sheet metal related to heating and AC.

    The PITA of the P1 and E1 is they renew every single year which really sucks. And you have to do code update classes every year. The las I knew the S1 didn't require this unless it has changed.

    The great State of CT. not as bad as MA……………………..maybe not
