I have a two family/duplex and notice my hot water boiler (1950s american standard) runs quite often.
I have two honeywell thermostats with a zone for each apartment.
My concern is that engaging the boiler too many times will put stress on it.
I have been thinking of replacing the thermostats with a LexPro thermostat which I understand allows you to set a temperature swing which means the temperature must change by a few points before it will tell the boiler to work.
My question is - is it fine to have the boiler run frequently and turn on to try and maintain the temperature or is it better to install a thermostat that spaces out the times it runs?
