I'm realizing the "set it and forget it" method is the way to go. Unfortunately, my wife is still playing around with the remotes.

My boiler is 28 years old but my hot water heater was just replaced a couple years ago.
It's nice not hearing my boiler come on every 20 minutes. Hopefully this will extend its life. My oil tech says it's still working fine, 87% efficiency.
The only thing I worry about is, I have a two-car garage under the house with no heat. I'm worried about the heating pipes that run through the garage freezing if there is no water circulating through them.
I will probably turn my oil heat on in extreme cold streaks like the one we had last year.
