Sounds like you have a boiler not a furnace. If you had a furnace you would
have a water heater of some sort besides. The way the boiler works is you
set the min and the max. If your water temp reaches the min, the boiler
kicks on and heats the water back up to the max. Thus always hot water on
demand. Also if the "thermostat" calls for heat at any time, as soon as the
temp falls below max, the boiler will kick on. I know there are experts out
there. Correct me if I am wrong.

My furnace turns on even when the house is warm! I supposedly have on
demand hot water so I thought that unless it was cold or something was
using the hot water the furnace shouldn't run. What am I missing?
Sorry for my stupidity on the subject....I've always heated with
electric or a monitor before.

As always.....thanks for the help. I'd be lost without this group!!!!
