    How do you heat your water for faucets, showers etc?

    It sounds like you maintain a "hot" boiler, that is always kept hot waiting to deliver heat.

    IMO, you should have a "cold" boiler, that is, it fires when a tstat calls for heat....or if you have an indirect water heater tank.

    That boiler should heat up quickly on a call for heat.

    As far as the insulation, any heat lost from boiler jacket and piping is still in your house. Perhaps keeping the basement and the bottom side of your floor warm is to your advantage.

    I am not familiar with your zone control box on the wall by the pumps, but my best guess this change from maintaining hot boiler, to on demand only, can be changed in there.

    Other wallies please correct me if needed.

    Mike From tekmar here, THats is a 2 pump control box. it IS capable of sending a temperature based modualtion signal, but no min boiler setting. a (mostly) simple pump relay box from tekmar
