(trilema) nubbins`: and the cold water going to the water boiler for the faucets/shower gets pre-warmed by the waste heat from the furnace, so that helps
(trilema) nubbins`: it's not a bad system, because you retain the heat after the furnace stops firing
(trilema) nubbins`: the20year: basically it's a standard oil furnace, but instead of heating air and pumping it through vents, it heats a large water reservoir that is then circulated throughout the house to radiators
