For an oil burner - is it best to just lower the aqua-stat setting for the summer or shut the system off.?

Question

I have heard that it is best to leave the system on at the lower setting and I realize that not much fuel is consumed however with the price of fuel skyrocketing every drop is prescious especially if we have a hard winter. Hot water is not affected since I have a seperate gas fired heater.

Answer 1

Even the pilot consumes precious fuel.  If ur handy and want to save money.....$50-$100  saved is what u don't have to pay.  So turn it OFF.

Answer 2

Turn it off for sure.
