: Need "as designed" efficiency for 1945 IDEAL domestic hot water boiler, solid fuel(coal/wood)design, currently burning No.2 fuel oil. I there an IDEAL boiler company in the USA?
Ideal was a brand manufactured by the American Radiator Company. This company was bought out by Burnham in the 1970's. I had a 1920's wood unit in my house which was converted to gas. Just had it replaced last week as the new boilers are much more effecient, safer, and easier to use.
