two apartment house -one oil fired hot water peerless boiler. When heating hot water circulating pumps do not run for heat. Is this correct? We took hot water off priority but still heats first before heat.
Also we have run out of hot water (4 girls using) and it takes forever for turnaround time to heat water. In the meantime temperature in house gets colder as heat does not kick in until tank is full of hot water. Any suggestions?

I am so very sorry, I cannot get past the part with 4 girls taking showers! My imagianations runs wild. I am not trying to be annoying but I bought a tankless water heater that never runs out of hot water and I love it so far! I know this would be a loot of work for you guys so ... I have a peerless for my small house heat ... the pump runs as soon as I need heat so I guess yours should too, no pumping means no water getting to your radiators... I would seperate house heat from shower heat and get a tankless, it's cheaper and ... never run out of hot water ... I am not the greatest persont o ask though since I am an electrician ... good luck and thanks for the shower images!

I need better description of what you have for domestic water heat and for heating hot water heat.
Are all combined?
However, generally trapped air is the begest problem. Inspect your system to see if there any reason for that.
Burner should start after few minutes of hot water runniing.
For second step you may want to
Run pump all the time
Raise water temperature.

I have a regular gas water heater. It takes about 15 or 20 minutes I think. I've never timed it but it seems fast.
