Oversized Burnham boiler
Estwing
Member Posts: 2
Hello,
I'm new to this forum but couldn't find the answer on FAQ's or earlier posts so I hoping one of you can help me. I have an 7yr oversized Burnham gas boiler . I'm trying to figure out a way to decrease the btu's without having to change out the whole boiler. I've allready added a FHW loop off the bottom which helps but someone suggested changing the jets to smaller ones ? Is this possible and if so any idea of the cost?
Thank you,

You might want to check the "find a contractor" link and see who's near you. The only steam guy who comes to mind is Charlie Garrity, but he's out near Stockbridge. I'm sure he could recommend somebody near you.Just another DIYer | King of Prussia, PA
