My boiler doesn't shut off

and I like it that way! My first season with my new Knight is So Much Fun. As ME would say "this isn't your father's boiler". The run times are just amazing with it going non stop for days. My 3 baseboard zones keep the house very comfy at 70 degrees and water temps are from about 110 to 150. We have not seen design day conditions yet, (-20) but I suspect that 180 will be too hot. Right now it is 5 outside and the boiler is making 145 water and that is just a little too much as it will cycle on the thermostat.
For anyone that thinks mod cons don't work with low mass emitters, I can say definitively that this works just fine. We have not done a degree day verses therms used calculation yet, but I know less gas is being consumed. When only one zone calls, the boiler throttles down to 20% and even that is a little too much.
I hope you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
