I have the opportunity to buy a Burnham independence 6 gas steam boiler. The unit is new and has never been installed. My question is: What is the BTU output of this unit. The specs I have found say 175,000MBH input, DOECap MBH 144 and I B R = 108 MBH for steam. Is this last spec what it actually puts out for BTU's? I can buy it for only $500 but I am concerned that it might be too big for my house. I roughly tried to figure out heat loss with the calculator on the Burnham site and I come up with roughly 67,600. Is this unit too big or is it such a steal I shouldn't be too concerned?
