The electricity industry can theoretically switch to natural gas either by retrofitting existing coal-fired units to burn natural gas or by closing the coal plants and building new gas-fired plants. Aspen's research uncovers no instances of coal plant retrofits to natural gas and, in fact, virtually all of the public references to conversion of coal to natural gas or repowering turn out instead to be replacements.
Get A QuoteWhen considering a coal to natural gas conversion it is an obvious advantage if the utility boiler is located close to an existing natural gas supply line with adequate surplus capacity, rather than one located many miles away from a pipeline that is at or near capacity. Page 2 of 16

Being able to control them separately can be useful if you want to turn your heating off in the summer months but still require hot water. You may also have temperature controls on your boiler.

Get A QuoteBased on outside air temperature, the boiler reset control will reset the boiler high set point. If it is 0° F. outside the maximum temperature the boiler will produce will be 165° F. This is demand control and it saves you money by causing the boiler to deliver a lesser temperature to the hot water loop because it is unnecessary for the boiler to produce a higher temperature water to satisfy demand or load.
