ABSTRACT:
A heating system operates in supplemental mode to carry water from a hot water supply of the water heater to a heat exchanger within an air passage in the furnace. A water return passage returns the water from the air passage back to the water heater. Air within the air passage passes through the heat exchanger and is heated from the water within. The water then returns to the water tank through a water return passage. A supplemental thermostat is connected to the system to control an air circulator for the furnace without requiring the furnace to be activated. The furnace will turn on and heat the air only if supplemental mode is not sufficient to maintain the desired temperature.
