Hello again,
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am trying to size up a boiler (pellet or electric) to replace my oil boiler. Currently, it is rated for 105,000 BTU minimum (210,000 max). Originally, the boiler also fired an indirect hot water tank, which I have replaced with a Marathon electric. The boiler is now only theoretically used for in floor radiant and hot water base board for a roughly 2000 sq ft house. How many BTU's should I subtract (if any) to account for the removal of the indirect fired hot water? Thanks.
