I live in the Northeast and have an oil fired furnace which provides hot water to heat the house and for domestic hot water.
During the warm months we turn off the oil furnace when we do not need hot water to save energy.
There is a low-voltage off/on toggle switch next to the oil furnace. This turns off/on the furnace control. This works great except when you want to take a shower when you wake up in the morning.
Is there a way to use an X-10 device to turn off/on the furnace instead of walking out into the garage?
thanks,
Ron
