Room temperature exceeds thermostat setting

[Rage517]

I just purchased a new home that has vaillant boiler in it. This heats both the house as well as the hot water. I don't know anything about these and I was wondering if someone on here could help me with a question?

I have 3 zones in my house with 3 room thermostats. How come if all 3 thermostats are set at 50 degrees why is the temperature in those rooms 70 degrees plus? Shouldn't they be around the same?

Thanks

Check that the manual over-ride levers on the zone valves are set to auto otherwise the valves will not function from the room stat signals.

Isn't it a Vaillant furnace?

Sorry dude - this is a UK based forum... hence the image of the UK on the top right of your screen .

Why does it matter if its a UK forum? You speak English don't you? This was the best forum I found online for boiler questions and answers. Besides I got exactly what I needed. Thanks mr.therm!!

Indeed I do... and BEING English, I am innately sarcastic and ironic....


I also assumed that you had a Warm air unit rather than a wet heating system.


Anyway - glad you got your answer... now if you don't mind my Gin & Tonic needs a little revitalisation . Toodle-oo
