btus usage
I found a chimney with 700,000 btus vented into the flue.I was asked to correct this problem.I'm dealing with a know it all general contractor.She knows just enough to get herself in trouble.I also told her 300,000 btu boiler for 4 radiators is overkill.But her plumber said it would be alright,yea just like the 700,000 btus in a chimney that can handle 216,000.Why do these people call me?0
