No ;), it was my father and mother who had the coal furnace.(and central heat).
But it was all gone and gas installed by the time I remember her turning dow a thermostat before bed.
BTW I realize I don't know how a coal furnace works or how it might work with a thermostat.
However once my father had the automatic stoker installed, I'm pretty sure that could be controlled by a thermostat. He filled it 2 (or
3?) times a day so my mother didn't have to shovel coal herself, and the stoker automatically fed the coal into the fire. I'm pretty sure a thermostat would work with that.Remove NOPSAM to email me. Please let me know if you have posted also.
