The old boiler that was removed was slightly oversized for the two family home, was very inefficienct with no insulation inside the jacket, and was beginning to leak. The homeowner wanted to finish the basement and open up as much room as possible during the project.

After sizing all heat loads in the home, we installed a 140,000 BTU/Hr input Burnham boiler. The boiler was moved 3 feet towards the back of the house. In addition, there was a dry return line running the width of the house at right about eye-level which we re-piped under ground to open up the width of the basement and allow access to the back door.

Aspects of this installation include:

• 4" sollid concrete block boiler base.
  
  
• All necessary controls and safeties required by DOB and National Grid.
  
  
• Re-piped ~35 feet of dry return line under ground, and moved boiler and existing water heater over 3 feet to open up ~150 additional square feet of useable space in the basement.
  
  
• Fuel savings of ~50% annually due to smaller boiler, more efficient boiler and converting to efficienct natural gas.
