It still heats the house with no problem with a water temp of 120-130 degrees. Question is, will this save me money on my fuel bill?

You may be able to turn the heat down even more, depending upon the quality of insulation and size of the spaces being heated. The flame for natural gas and propane should be blue. If it’s yellow, there’s not enough oxygen and you run the risk of carbon monoxide accumulation and soot buildup in the flue and boiler heat exchanger.
