I have to replace my (steam) boiler. The current one (weil-mclain) is 125,000 BTU. HOw do I know if this is oversized? Could it be wasteful? Can I go for a lower BTU rating?

How big?

You can have the calculations done by a local contractor as a part of the bidding process. Request the calculations to be done in writing and ask for Manual J conformity. Expect to pay for this service.

You can also go to the web

Yes...bigger than needed boilers, heaters and air conditioners all waste enormous amounts of energy and money. But the sellers like to sell them because it makes life easier for them.
