Hello

I need to replace my oil fired water boiler, I don't know the size

is there a general calulation. adding up the baseboard and multiplying by 600

to get the BTU rating? I know there is a heat loss calculation but there must be an easier way?

 

Thanks

You need to know the square footage of your home and how well it is insulated and what kind of windows also.  Your house may have to much or to little baseboard in it now. Best to let the company that is going to replace it size it.
