1. A system for monitoring and controlling operation of a heating system comprising:
a first pressure sensor configured to measure exhaust pressure of a venting system of the heating system;
a second pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure of natural gas into the heating system;
a current sensor configured to measure current of an electric motor of the heating system;
a flow sensor configured to measure a flow rate of water into the heating system; and
a control subsystem configured to:
compare each of the measurements of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, the current sensor, and the flow sensor with at least one of a plurality of measurement thresholds,
compare a determined difference between the measured exhaust pressure of the venting system and a stored last recorded measurement of the exhaust pressure of the venting system and a last recorded determined difference, and
control operation of the heating system based on at least one of the comparisons.
