We were forced to go with an atmospheric vent model as we were not able to create a satisfactory direct-vent option. This was also the case with the boiler--again, not a satisfactory direct-vent option. So, we sacrifice a little bit on efficiency with the atmospheric vs direct-vent options.
The boiler we chose, a Burnham ES2-5 (102,000 BTUs) atmospheric vent, and designed to be an energy-star rated direct replacement to the type of boiler we used to have--and many many home heating systems set-up before the 1940s and 50s have--radiated water heat.

| The boiler is hooked up, but not tested. It still needs the LCD panel added and the electronics hooked up. Note the old H2O heater to the right. It is in the spot designated for the first floor new heater--still working for now, so as not to interrupt the house's hot water. |
The plumbers are still waiting on the Bradford White water heaters we wanted--something about a supply-chain/stock issue. They should be in next week, and the basics of the renovation--the contractor portion--should be finished. boiler engineers
