You can simply shut off the boiler at the end of each heating season. I reccommend having boiler cleaned at that time every year.

but even if i did that, I would think the boiler would still cycle unneeded in the winter because of the water coils call for heat. It may not be as much as in the summer, but it's a little, maybe???
I'm correct 99.9% of the time.

Your boiler may have an aquastat with a high and a low setting which is designed to maintain a high temp. in the boiler in case you need hot water. You can turn the "low setting" all the way down and your boiler should cycle less.
You should still turn your boiler off when you don't need heat.

Thank you. That's a great idea. Now, why would I have to keep the high where it's at and just lower the low dial? Does the high have anything to do with the call for heat? I would like to disconnect the water coil part all together.
