The existing boiler is very large, and was converted from coal to oil to gas. We were told it is probably 30% efficient. One the upper door of the boiler it reads American Standard, Severn 3B-J2, gross output 247mbh. On the bottom, when you open the bottom door on the cast iron it reads AR&SS Corp.

So, for $7600 we are getting a Weil-McLain 83% gas boiler installed, the old boiler removed, two chimney liners installed (one for the boiler and one for the existing water heater - we were told the chimney is not lined), the system converted from gravity to recirculator, and a new T-87 thermostat. It has started to get cold at night and we are looking forward to having working heat... we had the old unit disconnected when we bought the house.
