    A cold start boiler turns on when the aquastat calls for heat from the thermostat. It shuts off when the thermostat is satisfied and/or the aquastat reaches high limit. Some older boilers maintain an internal temperature, rather than shut down.

    Not all oil boilers have tankless coils, most don't. Be careful about who you listen on YouTube, especially when it comes to oil burners.  I have seen a lot misinformation spread on there.
