Replacing Heat only boiler

[EganPlumbing]

Hi all,
I need to replace an Ideal mexico 65. Does 65 mean 65000 BTU's?
If so does that simply mean I could swap it for an equivalent KW boiler, what ever size that would be, I guess about 20kw-ish.
Thanks

Iam not sure about the 65 bit, but get your heating engineer to correctly size the boiler, some people seem to think bigger is better, a boiler that is too big wont run as it should do ,ie most efficiently.
