Well McCain ab-120
would this be a good boiler for radiant heat in propane gas situation. The furnace burns a tank of gas everc3 weeks and the women are cold. Would this propane boiler last longer heating 2000sqft farmhouse. I feel the efficacy of boiler even running full bore would last significantly longer than 150btu forced air furnace that only had ducting on the first floor. It's it possible to extend my tank of gas this way..

You want to convert from a forced air furnace to a boiler with in floor radiant?
What furnace is there now?

its a 90% 100kbtu newer model just sucks the fuel. I'm wondering if both radiant heating and possible a heat exchanger in phlephlem. Could you tell me the reasons this might be worth looking more

It takes a certain amount of BTU's to heat a space, changing equipment doesn't change that fact. If you are looking to improve efficiency, then look at the building and tighten up the envelope, air sealing, insulation, etc. What you are proposing would spend a bunch of money and most likely save you nothing in fuel costs.
If you knew the heat loss of the building and compared that to the fuel usage that could help determine if the system isn't delivery the BTU's properly, but again changing systems would spend a lot and not save much. It would be better to fix what you have, which can't be determined based on what you posted. There also may be nothing wrong with the system.
