I'm trying to research the Hydrostat....I was looking at the 3150 and 3250. I'm looking to get feedback from those using this "fuel smart" system. I currently have a Honeywell aqustat, but would have an interest in changing if this device saves coal. I would be using the Hydrostat with my EFM 525.

I like the pre-purge feature on the 3250 model, but I am not sure how much coal (if any) it saves. A lot depends on how the rest of the system is designed.

What model Honeywell do you have? The newer ones have an outdoor sensor available that is plug and play.
