The problem is we have a 6month old and his room is the one that gets the coldest. I thought about the air gap but haven't done it b/c none of the plumbers (who also deal with funraces) seemed to think that was the major problem since they have looked at it. Who knows. I will take your advice to make sure they do a heat loss calculation.
Labman, I want as cheap as I can go but also I want a decent boiler. The one phrase I am beginning to hate is "well, do you want to cheap or do you want the job done right". That to me is a way of saying they are going to charge alot for the job they are doing. Thanks for your advice. I am planning on asking alot fo questions. This is why I am asking here first so I am aware of the questions I should be asking. Thanks again.
