On Long Island if you multiply gallons by 55 it gets you a WAG. It sounds crude but it works. My house uses 600 gallons a year, give or take. My house has has 80 feet of S/F baseboard, so the numbers jive. Radiation 40,000. WAG heat loss 33,000. Still waiting for someone to make a small enough boiler.2

P.S Hey @Robert O'Brien did you get the files I sent you?
