You might want to boost the firing rate a bit. As long as the boiler can absorb the increased heat. That can be checked by the stack temperature. A new one will be more efficient, but that can get you through this winter if you need to. You are best off with an indirect water heater for several reasons listed in residential forum lately. Burnham.com has info and even a manual on theirs that you can peruse. Look into weatherizing your house if it has not been done also. (doe.gov) has a lot of info and links
