We live in the northeast and have an oil fired furnace for (radiant
floor) heat and domestic hot water.

When the seasons get warm I usually turn off the furnace for periods
of time when we don't need to use hot water, so we can save energy.

This is a problem for the family members that wake up early and like
to take a shower first thing in the morning.

I was considering the use of an X-10 module on the furnace switch, but
the switch is not an AC voltage.

How can I solve this problem?

thanks,

Ron

1)set the thermostat down, do not shut off power to boiler
2) stop using the tankless coil in a boiler for domestic hot water and
install a water heater

Tell certain family members to get up later.
