Gas conversion to Burnham es2 and indirect hot water tank constantly run ing

in Gas Heating
I just had this system installed and being summer, not using heat, and not home all day, just 2 people in house, gas bill almost $100 a month. Seems boiler is always coming on and constantly circulating hot water to indirect tank at 170 degrees 24/7. Is this normal? Shouldn't the water in the stainless steel insulated tank stay hot so boiler does not need to constantly circulate water at 170 degrees? Thinking it should stay off most of the day , this is expensive and inefficient. Does something need adjusting? Thank you in advance for your guidance!!

You need to clock the usage yourself for any savings . The gas company bills you on what your normal usage was from the past...

or something isn't piped or controlled correctly,
post a picture or 2 of the boiler and tank all in one, floor to ceiling, so we see all the parts and pipes and circs,
does the dometic hot also recirculate?
has that changed?
also post a close up or 2 of the controls you see,known to beat dead horses0 -
