Roxann, who installed a new fan because they thought that was causing the issue? I have no clue how anyone could think that the fan could be at fault for not shutting off? The fan works like a light does in your house with a light switch. When the aquastat sees the water temp to the top set point it shuts the fan off like a light switch does. No way for the fan to still run if the switch is turned off. The aquastat is an easy install if you already have one in place. Please switch this out asap so that you don't have any more overheating issues. Also the aquastat sensor which runs into a dry well in the boiler could be the culprit, not the aquastat itself. Did it come with a new sensor wire too?

So what your saying is that when you went out this morning it was overheating? How did it get down to 129? I am confused.

Are you able to switch out the aquastat replacement that you said you have? It really is an easy switch out. This needs to be done as soon as possible. Boiling water is very bad for the pump, I am surprised that you haven't burned it up yet. Why is the house only 63 degrees, you have plenty hot enough water.

In the meantime, you might want to consider shutting it down and draining the water to prevent freezing.  You don't want to run your unit into the ground chasing down an annoying, but easily repaired issue.

Does the blower ever shut off? If the aquastat is just a regular Ranco, make sure it didn't get switched to cooling mode. When you push the set button it should show H1. If it is C1 then change it.

Contact Heatmor directly @ www.heatmor.com/. They won't like the fact that the dealer is not helping. There are all kinds of boilers for sale out there and bad publicity is not good for business.

By the way, adding water at any temp will not harm anything.‎

I think you have two problems, first you don't have enough baseboard in the home to handle these cold nights. Second you either have a bad Ranco or its on C1. I'm surprised Heatmore doesn't have an shut off built in to cut off the fan when it overheats. Our units shut the fan off at 195 just to avoid this potential problem.

My 2 yr old heatmore does have two aquastats one shuts the fan down for overheating.Sounds to me like there is definetly a wiring/aquastat problem.But two bad stats?The high temp stat should be shutting the draft fan down

Her installer, to no fault of his own has very little knowledge of boilers and piping to say the least of controls, her problem is no support from the dealer and manufacturer, I'm going to try and stop there tonight and check it out if Bruce does not step up to the plate today, please let me know Roxann one way or another.
