Thermostat

Loyd

Our house was built in 1892; 3 full floors of living space;
newer boiler (which our contractor says is HUGE size for house) boiler loses water, but that's another problem.
Do we turn down the temp. on the thermostat at night for a steam system? we have a one pipe system.

We don't do setback on our masonry home. I think I got this article from Mike T. in Swampeast MO? Check it out if your house is brick, stone or concrete.
