Default Thermostat question

prestocat wrote:
Hello. I have 2 seperate furnaces, a wood burner and fuel oil, that are
controlled with 2 seperate thermostats. I was wondering if there are any
companies that sell a thermostat that can control both furnaces? I want to
be able to set the wood burner at 70 degrees, and the set the fuel oil at 67
degrees. That way if the wood burner runs out of wood or goes out, the fuel
oil will kick on and keep the house from getting too cold. If there aren't
any companies that sell this type of thermostat, does anyone know if and how
you can modify a regular digital thermostat? If anyone can please help, I
would greatly appreciate it! TIA!!!!!



The thermostats that I have now are really old, probably 50 + years old, and
I want to replace them. I didn't want to have to buy two new ones, if I
could find one that would control both furnaces. By the way, I've owned this
house for 1 year, and I've been setting the thermostats the way you are all
describing to set them. I would like to thank the people who have been
trying to help, but I can't believe the ridicule from others.
