| I have a single boiler for both heating and domestic hot water is that a problem? |
The Fuel saver controller monitors the domestic hot water system. When it detects that the boiler is called for domestic hot water it bypasses the ignition suppression and allows the boiler to heat normally. When the system is installed it is easily configured to support single boiler or an independent hot water heater configuration.

| How does Fuel saver know there is no one home?
GEO Einstein uses two methods to detect occupancy.
|
| Domestic Hot Water supply |
GEO Einstein can determine that domestic hot water is used within the home. Hot water is used throughout the day when a home is occupied. Hot water is consumed when the home occupants wash their hands, shower, wash clothes, wash dishes etc. If no hot water is drawn within the home for a programmable period of time (1- 36 hours) then GEO Fuel Saver declares the home unoccupied and initiates its energy saving mode of operation. The hot water draw method of presence detects long period of inactivity. That is the home may be unoccupied for quite a while before the energy savings mode is initiated. This mode of operation is perfect for long weekends when

| Wireless presence sensor |
GEO Einstein provides an optional key bunch dongles. The dongle looks much like an automobile wireless key entry. The dongles connect to the GEO Einstein controller via a Wireless link. When all the dongles are no longer in wireless range of the Einstein controller 100 ft the Einstein system initiates its energy savings mode. This allows the GEO Einstein to react quickly to the home occupants coming and going. The system supports multiple dongles. Only when all dongles are not visible does the system declare the home unoccupied. The quick reaction of the system and the automatic entry and exit of energy saving mode will reduce energy consumption.

| I have a smart thermostat can Fuel Saver still lower my fuel costs? |
Yes, programmable thermostats are a great way to control the heat in your home. Our modern life though is hectic and doesn’t always fit into the programming schedule that the thermostats offer. We have all experienced going away for a weekend and forgetting to press ‘hold’. Smart saver enhances the smart thermostat allowing the house temperature to fluctuate beyond the ‘hold’ temperature to achieve even greater savings. |
