Gennady was an engineer in the old country, but here he is a licensed master plumber, which means he knows a lot more than your typical plumber. However, if you have a wm steam boiler, there’s not going to be a lot engineer, you just need to put a similar boiler in the same spot. If you have hot water you have more options, and someone like Gennady, or a mechanicals engineer could maybe help more. Gennady likes a veissmann system, expensive, maybe more durable, but parts are harder to get.

You could do worse than my company. We install around 50 boilers every heating season, both steam and hot water, standard and high efficiency.

Gennady is great; that guy is like a Rocket Scientist for Heating. Awesome to hear that you enjoyed working with someone with a high value and not a low cost….love to read that!

i had unique circumstances, but i have never worked with a professional more knowledgeable about their field than gennady at absolute mechanical. you will pay a premium and perhaps for a simple replacement its overkill, but expense notwithstanding fantastic to work with
