Low Temp. Alarm

I have my boiler located in a seperate building about 130 feet from the house which it is heating. I would like to wire a low voltage alarm in the house when the Efm boiler drops below the low set point of the aquastat so that I know when I have a problem with the boiler.

Does anyone have any ideas that might help?

Try a search on remote "Smoker Alarms". I know there are such things which will alarm if the temperature gets to high or too low. I don't know what the range is on them though.

here one I found, but there are others.

Works great & the batteries last a whole heating season!

Thanks for the tips!
Devil, sounds like that would be a great alarm but it's only rated at 100 ft.
I was thinking of using a aquastat that would close the alarm circuit when the temp dropped below the set point. Install a wire from the aquastat to a septic tank alarm inside the house. Or maybe tie the aquastat into a seperate door bell chime. Just thinking???

You're right. From the sound of it the low voltage alarm idea you have would work better & I'm sure someone must make such a wired unit so you don't have to jury rig something.
