Your heating system is not as efficient as it could be.
When your boiler runs, it makes extremely hot water. This is great on frigid winter nights when you need very hot water circulating through your baseboards or radiators to keep you warm—but it’s too hot for those autumn days. In fact, it’s too hot for most days in the fall, winter, and spring; but your boiler doesn’t know any better.
Thankfully, your thermostat realizes the problem. It compensates for the excessively hot water by turning your boiler on and off many times an hour. This keeps your house from overheating. What the thermostat doesn’t realize, though, is that the repeated on/off cycling wears out your boiler and is a very inefficient way for the boiler to operate.
Worst of all, it costs you a lot of money.
