Hello eveyone, I havent posted in a while, some of you
may
remember me from previous posts. Well, we made it to Maine! Moved from
Florida
and BAM! got hit with snow the first week we were here! So much for
the mild
maine winters last few years! LOL!! I love it!
Can someone help me understand how my heating system works? I have a
forced hot
water oil burning heating system. It also heats the hot water
for the faucets.
It uses a normal thermostat on the wall to control the
home heating, but i dont
understand how it keeps the water hot for the
faucets when the heat is not on.
We are running out of hot water pretty
fast, so I have to turn the thermostat up
so that the furnace kicks on,
then along with the house geting warmer, I get
some more hot water. It does
have a hot water storage tank, not very large, but
I dont see any sensors
or switches that control the furnace for just the hot
water. How will we
get hot water in the summer months? I must be missing
something.... any
help would be appreciated!
Thanks!!
