The boiler size needed depends on the construction of the house, the size and type of heating system, the geographical location of the house and the amount of radiation in an existing structure. Boucher Energy will perform a detailed heat loss to determine proper sizing.

Heating output is specified in kilowatts, kW, (metric units) or BTUs (Imperial units) and represents the rate at which the system can deliver heat energy. Sizing of heating systems should be done by a qualified heating engineer. It is dependent on many factors including levels of insulation and draught proofing of your home, lowest outside temperature of your locality and patterns of use. See similar questions...

The only way to determine what your actual requirement is to have a heat load done on your home by a qualified heating technician. This calculation looks at the size of the structure, insulation, doors and windows along with your climate area for outdoor design temperature. A heat loss is then calculated to determine what is required for the boiler and the heating elements to heat the structure. See similar questions...

The first step is to determine how much lumber you’ll dry in a year. Then figure your average drying time for each of the species you’ll be drying, and you can calculate the size kiln you need from there. For example: you need to dry 500,000 board feet of oak per year. Fresh off the saw, oak takes about 28-30 days to dry, so you’ll be able to do 12 loads in a year. Each load will need to be 42,000 board feet to give you the 500,000 board feet you need for the year. See similar questions...

Boilers are normally sized according to heat load requirement from the heat loss calculation in the normal way and also taking account of other requirements such as domestic hot water. If normal thermostatic on/off controls are used then it is advisable to use a larger (20 - 25%) boiler to speed up the re-heat times. As a guide, the heat output available from a Radiant UFH system is 100W/m 2 for a solid floor and 70W/m 2 for a timber suspended floor. See similar questions...

Unfortunately, boilers do not last for ever. The useful working life is reckoned to be 15 years and older ones lose efficiency and become prone to breakdown, usually during those cold spells when you depend on your system to keep the house comfortable. That's the bad news: the good news is that modern boilers are so much more efficient, quicker to warm up, quieter in operation and cheaper to run. Your investment will quickly pay for itself.

Vaillant's solar DHW heating system will provide around 50-60% of annual domestic hot water requirements, but an auxiliary power source is required to ensure there's always hot water on demand. In addition, the boiler is also necessary to operate the central heating system. See similar questions...

In most cases, you will need to install a chimney liner if your chimney has an over-sized or deteriorated terra cotta (clay) liner. You must always install a liner if you have an unlined masonry chimney. Both the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54) and the national Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment code (NFPA 31) compel installations of the chimney liner in these circumstances. boilers have increased in efficiency, the temperature of the flues gases has declined.

The general rule of thumb in aquarium keeping is to have no more that one inch of fish per gallon of water. Thus, if you had a twenty gallon tank (with no substrate or rocks to diminish the total water volume), you could have five 4-inch fish. This formula also assumes you will change 25% of the tank volume each week. See What is a water change? Why is it important? for more details. Realistically, however, you will need to consider the following factors when choosing what size tank to purchase: See similar questions...

Weight distributing is based on the amount of loaded tongue weight the trailer has. To purchase the correct size weight distributing hitch (WDH), you will need to first load the trailer as you would tow it down the road and then have the tongue weighed. You can weigh the trailer tongue by using a bathroom scale or taking it to your trailer dealer to have the tongue placed on a tongue scale. See similar questions...

While there is no such thing as "too much" power in a sound system, the system should be powerful enough to fill your room.

Our measurements are given in stem thickness first followed by internal diameter/length eg.: 1.6 x 12mm. Our rings are always measured internally. Straight and curved barbells are always measured between the balls. On curved barbells (eg., belly bars) measure the shortest distance between the balls along the inside of the curve. Inches to millimeters conversion (you my need to round up or down to the nearest whole mm as necessary): See similar questions...
