2. We are currently seeking bids for the replacement of the original boiler for the main church. Bill Markowski has been in contact with Mollenburg-Betz for a quote. They are quoting two 500,000 BTU units that will run more efficiently than the current unit. Of note; gas fired commercial appliances will not be available in New York State starting in 2030.
