ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a combination of a thermostat, especially for controlling the heating of a dwelling, and a level indicator for displaying the level of liquid fuel (such as home heating oil) in a storage tank that is burned for heating the dwelling and that is controlled by the thermostat. The invention is especially useful for the elderly or infirm in a wheel chair who may not be able physically to view the level indicator at the fuel tank if it is down at the bottom of the cellar stairs. In addition to a level display at the dwelling thermostat, the level indication can be accessed remotely (such as via modem and personal computer).
