    Take some pictures of the boilers, radiators, and their piping and post them here.
    There may be some low hanging fruit in the improvement/efficiency area, such as:
    Proper setup of the burners.
    Improved main, (not rad) venting.
    Lowering steam pressure.
    Better thermostat -placement.
    Tightening the envelope.—NBC
