Define boiler 50/90 ?

johneym · 2015-03-14 16:21:33

hello, Just a question I am curious about. I know it refers to the range of btu but does that also mean that you can manually adjust between this range depending on your heating load? And if so, how? Also, if a boiler is bigger than needed, what are the negative effects of this? Many thanks

You get your local engineer in to make certain adjustments.

The boiler will short cycle. You'll use more oil too
