To calculate the appropriate size of an oil-fired boiler for a forced hot water heating system in a 3,100 sq ft house in Massachusetts, you typically use the heat loss calculation method. This involves assessing factors such as the home's insulation, window efficiency, local climate, and desired indoor temperature, often expressed in BTUs (British Thermal Units). A rough estimate for a well-insulated home is about 30-40 BTUs per square foot, which would suggest a boiler capacity of approximately 93,000 to 124,000 BTUs. It's advisable to consult with a heating professional for a precise calculation tailored to your specific home conditions.
HVAC Load Calculation is a formula used by a contractor salesmen that determines the proper tonnage size of heating and cooling systems to be installed in Residential or Commercial applications. The formula is used to calculate the total cooling and heating BTU'S (British Thermal Units) for the proper values of determining the correct tonnage to be installed in HVAC applications. Tonnage is the size of the HVAC system. Without this Load calculation the wrong tonnage could be installed and it causing to much humidity in the summer in cooling season and not enough heating in the winter season. Also the HVAC system may never stop running to reach the proper temperature that the thermostat is set for. Thus causing high electricity out of pocket cost.

In the sentence "The cactus quickly absorbed enough water," the word "quickly" is the adverb. It modifies the verb "absorbed," describing how the action was performed. Adverbs often provide information about manner, time, place, or degree.
Check your gauge to make sure you have enough pressure and your flow control valve is not stuck
YES! i live in Massachusetts and we do get enough education.
A thermocouple is a device which generates an electrical charge when heated. It is often used on a boiler to indicate that the pilot light is on and hot, so it should be safe to allow gas to pass to the main burner for heating water, your house, etc. Should the pilot light go out, the thermocouple will sort of "tell" the boiler to shut off the gas, as it isn't safe to fire up. A thermostat is used as a switch, which goes on and off at a certain temperature. For example, in a boiler it will tell the boiler that the water in the circuit is plenty hot enough and that it doesn't need to be heated any more, in your house it will tell your central heating that the room is warm enough and doesn't need heating any more and in your car it would say that your engine is too hot and that the radiator valve should open, and perhaps the cooling fan should turn on.
Most people don’t think about their boiler heating system until it stops working. Then they have to scramble to find a repair person and hope the problem is minor and can be fixed quickly. But if you do a little preventive maintenance, you can avoid most repairs altogether. The chilly winter months are just around the corner, and it’s time to get your boiler ready. Maintaining a reliable central heating system is crucial to keeping your home or office warm. You won’t have to pay a fortune each month for energy bills. The efficiency of the boiler heating system means you can use less fuel, saving on costs for electricity to power them and ensuring that there’s enough hot water available in case someone needs it! To keep these machines running smoothly all year round, it’s essential to maintain their general condition by taking proactive steps beforehand so they will work at peak performance when needed most this winter season. Here are some tips for keeping your boiler heating system running smoothly.
No. It won't get the temperature of the oil hot enough.
A boiler foundation is a structural base designed to support a boiler and its associated equipment. It must be robust enough to handle the weight and vibrations generated during operation, ensuring stability and safety. The foundation typically consists of reinforced concrete and is designed according to the specific load requirements and operational conditions of the boiler system. Proper foundation design is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the boiler.

No.
Because they didnt have a good enough rock
First there should be a back flow preventer so the boiler water can not travel back into your potable water. Oil could have entered the system during installation. Oil is used during pipe threading and if is not cleaned off could have been left in the system when the water was turned on. Also there is some oil in some thread sealants which if too much have used could have entered your system. Not sure why you are asking but this could cause problems in a steam heating system causing the water to surge back and forth. This can be fixed by heating the boiler and letting the oil flow out of a draw off at the top of the water level while adding more water. If doing this you want to make sure you have enough water in the boiler so that it doesnt get damaged from the heat.ALL Boilers by decent codes require a back flow preventor NOT just a check valve UNLESS the boiler is fed though an air gap which is the best possible ptrotection for the potable system
There is not enough information to answer. What is the shape of the tank? How cold is it? How efficient is the heating system? How large a space are you heating?
