Old Boiler?
Wondering if I could get a little history on this Beauty?
Client says it heats about 2000 square feet with 9 Radiators but drinks fuel like a pirate drinks rum. She's thinking of Upgrading.........0 -
That's probably an old \"all-fuel\" 3-pass boiler
from the 1940s or early 1950s. Unless the boiler flue passages are baffled, most of the heat goes up the chimney. It's probably oversized too. Time for a new one.
