Is true that the furnace boiler should be on all the time?

It depends on how old it is, and if it has a hot water tank tied to it for hot water in the house.

We need more info on make/model of your boiler.

Most boiler are wired in so that the boiler work or stay at 160o on and off at 180o. This way when the tstat upstairs call for heat and turns a zone on or a pump that you have heat right away. Also like said this way if the boiler makes the hot water for the home. You have hot water all the time.
