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.

Making some assumptions...I didn't have DDay entered in for the tip of the Island, I figured New Haven was close enough.
P.S Hey @Robert O'Brien did you get the files I sent you?

You guys cheat. As a way to get a building's heat loss, that works just fine! But you do need a reasonably accurate fuel usage...Br. Jamie, osb

Well even if I'm off the smallest boiler will be a little too big. Maybe it's time to pop in an EK.

After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

I'm just going to have to get by with my .5 nozzle in my G115 and biofuel has a little less BTU's, so I'm sneaking up on it!
