It will, but keep in mind that condensing boilers can only approach peak efficiency when return fluid temperatures are relatively low (usually 140°F or less). Cast iron radiators normally run at higher temperatures (180°F to 200°F), so they are not always the best choice with a high-efficiency boiler.
Absolutely. That's what we have. Sent from my iPhone
We would recommend that you have a heat-loss calculation performed on the building to get a definitive BTU requirement. 91,000 BTUs sounds reasonable for 2,200 feet of well-insulated space (and many installers had a tendency to oversize boilers in the past), but it is better to oversize than to undersize the boiler.
We use this boiler to replace a 200000 BTU Ruud boiler installed in 1954. The house is a 1932 masonry semi-detached, is not particularly well insulated and still has the original windows and cast iron radiators. The house is 3300 square feet on three levels plus a basement, in Washington DC. We have enough extra capacity that we are adding radiator heat to the basement. We do have the advantage of a common wall with the neighbors, but it is completely un insulated. If your contractor has calculated this out, he is probably correct. The efficiency of this boiler is easily around double that of your old one. If you are uncomfortable with this choice, then buy the next size up at about 105000 BTU. Sent from my iPhone
I used this boiler with radiant floor heat to heat a 2000 sq ft home in Ithaca, NY. Sent from my iPad
On Long Island, 35 BTUs per square foot is usually a safe figure, but every house is different. You'd need to perform a heat loss calculation to get an exact figure, but you may also want to try our BTU Calculator: http://www.pexsupply.com/pex/control/BTUCalculator
The LP orifice that is included with the boiler can be used to convert the unit to propane following the instructions outlined in the manual below. http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1282584627079/37686_PROD_FILE.pdf
You would be looking at around 30 BTUs per square foot, which, for a brand new home with minimal heat loss, should be sufficient (even in North Dakota). The only way to be 100% sure of your BTU requirement, however, would be to perform a manual J/heat loss calculation.
I had this furnace installed in October 2010 in ND. It was a significant decrease in BTU output from original 1964 boiler (140k to 91.5k for 3200sq ft plus a heated double garage) but the installer assured me that it would be enough - and he was more than right. We've never had a cold day in the house since its installation and are really impressed with the furnaces' performance.
That will be based on the heat loss of the space.
I had one installed in 2005. My house is one story & about 1500 sq ft. It is installed in a laundry/utility room in the middle of the house. it is very quiet! I can not even here it running standing outside the room. My boiler provides hot water, heat through a coil in the air handler, & radiant floor heat! I Love it! Very efficient!
Yes, as long as the meets the total BTU requirement.

My boiler provides hot water (indirect water heater), heat through a coil in the air handler, & radiant floor heat in 3 zones in the house! I Love it! Very efficient!
You would need to use an indirect water heater in order to get domestic hot water with this unit.
This is a direct vent unit with surface ignition. You should have no problems with it.
This boiler does come with the header.
