the contractors measured the width of each of the 10 radiator's in my two story house(basement exclududed). They then sent proposals with their recommendations.
+++ And the recommendations were based upon the btuh equivalent of the radiation measured, so both should work if they were done right.
According to two of the contractors, the EG-45(150,000BTU/hr) is just about equal to the size oil boiler I have now. The EG-40 is rated at 125,000BTU/hr.
There isn't that much difference between the two in btuh, but people on this end of the internet don't see what the contractors see as to pipe size, radiation and circumstances.
