My "furnace" is a boiler with one zone circulating the entire house.
I have a wood burning fire place on the main floor. The thermostat is also on the main floor.
When I burn the fire place, the main floor heats up and the lower floor gets colder than crap.
I want to install a second thermostat on the lower floor to keep the boiler @ 70 degrees....to keep that lower floor at 70 degrees....inspite the fact that the upper floor, with the fireplace burning, raises the temp on the main floor up to as much as 80 degrees!
Yeah, yeah, why burn the fire place and the boiler at the same time. Answer, to keep the lower floor warm!
Can't run duct work from the main floor fire place to the lower floor in a finished house!

Can you use two thermostats on one oil furnace?
The thermostat that is set higher will turn the system on if two thermostats are wired in parallel. You can use any number of thermostats on the system. What you probably want to get is a zone control system. Each room gets heat regulated as desired because the controller manages not only when the furnace turns on but also when dampers open to deliver heated air to the various rooms that are being controlled.
