Hi all, Beginning the remodel of my basement and submitted all the required documents to get all the permits needed. Found out yesterday one of the permits was denied because the height of my basement is 1 inch below the minimum requirement, 7feet. To get the permit they want me to agree to...

I'm considering the Lochinvar NKC155 combi boiler. My heat requirements are in line with this boiler and it provides 3.6gpm. I'm located in Pennsylvania so the incoming water temp can get brisk. I think I am wondering if the combi doesn't keep up instead of adding another boiler can an indirect...
