furnace capacity for new addition?
So I'm building an addition to my home and hoping the current furnace is up to the task. the existing home is 1312 sq/ft and the addition will be 545 for a total of 1850 sq/ft. -- so still a pretty modest sized home. my current furnace is a Weil-Mclain WGO-4 with a DOE heating capacity of 145. I have hot water heat with a circulating pump and the new and old house are all fully insulated. I'm in NE NJ in Bergen county. is there a way to get a rough sense of whether the furnace is up to the new task now for planning purposes -- i know ultimately i will need to go to a professional for help! thanks john p

As is, your boiler is WAY oversized already.
You could in all likliehood QUADRUPLE the size of your home and still heat it with that boiler.

Hey that was my feeling too but i assumed i was missing something! I'm now wondering about whether they sold me more furnace than i needed in the first place! but that may now be my advantage if i've got more than enough for the addition so perhaps its all working out for the best.
