installing a boiler

| Posted in Construction Techniques on

*
I have the technical expertise to install a boiler but am looking for advice on sizing a unit for my home and the layout of the plumbing. Anyone have any experience getting this kind of help with a boiler project.

    Louis,

    The plumbing supply house I use sends a sales rep out and he sizes the boiler and determines the heat runs.They do this as a free service as long as I buy the equipment from them.

      *You could get a copy of ASHRAE Manual J and figure the heat loss for your house to size the boiler. Vince's idea is easier.Andy
