Oversized Burnham boiler

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,

    More information

    What model is this boiler?

    Does it have a power burner or atmospheric?

    What's the total EDR of your radiation?

    What problems are you experiencing other than short cycling?

    Pros near Boston

    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.
