Hello,

I am in the process of replacing the original oil boiler in a 52 years old
house in Mass and was wondering if any experts here can tell me whether
the bids I received are reasonable. After doing some homework I decided
to go with Buderus, although Burnham tankless seems to be $1000 less. I'd
also appreciate if someone can tell me if I need a 120,000BTU unit for a
1600 square feet ranch style house with baseboard heat. Thanks in
advance.

Slantfin has a nifty little app that will give you a ballpark figure for
boiler size. 120000 btu sounds excessive, but only a competent pro can tell
for sure.
