Water baseboard heat will not stop
We have a gas boiler heating system with three zones. 1st zone is for
the downstairs, 2nd zone is for the upstairs and the 3rd zone is for heating the hot water. We are currently having problems with the 2nd zone in that it is keeping the upstairs at 76 degrees. I have recently replaced the thermostat upstairs and set it at 45 degrees. But the temperature still remains at 76. But then for a week or so it seemed like when we turned the downstairs heat off, the upstairs would turn off also. But yesterday and today we turned the heat all the way down downstairs and the upstairs pipes remained hot. One thing of note, is that prior to replacing the mercury thermostat with a digital thermostat, I did move the thermostats control up and down (with the cover off) and did not see any sparks when the merury made contact with the wires to start the heating process. Hopefully someone out there can help us out. We don't want to be frying in the middle of summer and having the ac compete with the heater. Thanks in advance, David |
