Default Radiant Heat - Boiler Working Overtime?

If the heater is firing for 2 hours at 30,000 Btu, it is using the same
amount of fuel as a burner firing at 150,000 Btu for half that time.


No. The former uses 60K Btu. The latter uses 75K Btu.

No, the latter uses 150,000 Btus since half of two hours is one hour.
