Issue Cause Solution
Unit not
turning off
1. Thermostat setting is too high
2. Faulty controls
3. Faulty boiler
4. Faulty wiring
1. If the thermostat(s) setpoint(s) are incorrectly set too high, there will
be a call for heat and the boiler will continue to heat the area until the
thermostat is satisfied.
2. If the thermostat is wired incorrectly, the boiler may see the
thermostat/relay as calling for heat, when in reality there is no call.
3. If the Boiler is wired incorrectly, the boiler may see the
thermostat/relay as calling for heat, when in reality there is no call.
4. If the power coming into the unit and thermostat is incorrectly wired,
the unit will not function properly.
Uneven heat
(between
rooms, within a
room)
1. Thermostat setting
2. Loop isolation valves (return
manifold) not fully open
3. Loops improperly balanced
4. Wrong pump setting
1. If the thermostat(s) setpoint(s) are incorrectly set too high or low,
one zone will shut down once the thermostat is satisfied.
2. If the loop isolation valves are not completely open, certain loops may
experience less flow than the design requirements.
3. If the loops are not balanced properly, certain loops may experience
more or less flow than the design requirements; this may also cause
certain loops to have more flow than others.
4. If the pump setting is incorrectly set too high or low, there may not
be enough energy to move the fluid through the system.
T&P relief
valve (PRV)
issues
1. Repeated opening
2. Won’t open at all
1. If the T&P relief valve continuously opens and closes, this may indicate
the system pressure is above 30 psi. This could be due to auto fill
pressure being too high, the pump being incorrectly set and creating
too much pressure in the system, or the boiler overheating the water
and creating steam.
2. If the T&P relief valve will not open when the system pressure increases
above 30psi, this indicates that either the PRV is sealed shut with
sediment or is incorrectly set above 30 psi.
