    2 years ago, largely based on the excellent information and individuals on this forum I upgraded our old oversized cast iron boiler to a Westinghouse WBRUNG080W (which is the same as the HTP UFT-80w). I did most the prep work and plumbing myself but then got a professional to come by on...

    Over sizing a HTP UFT boiler in anticipation of basement remodel?

    Boiler Size Calculation based on therms, HDD and 99%

    Hello, my family and I recently bought a 1800 sq. ft. house in Minneapolis that was built in 1900. The house is currently heated by a Weil Mclain HE-6 cast iron gas boiler but it has not been well maintained and needs replacing. The plan is to replace it with a mod-con boiler with an indirect...
