Title: Putting high cut off therostat
Post by: perry cheslock on February 02, 2012, 08:06:41 AM

I have a outdoor furnace plus a water system inside the house. The system inside is pressured as there are 3 floors.Outdoor furnace is open. I have 2 pumps 1 for house pressureized getting heat from water to water exchanger. Pump 2 furnace to water to water exchanger My problem is the outdoor furnace fan is blowing all the time only a few times will shut off. The pump inside starts at 110F, and then keeps running, So inside the house gets very hot 80F or over lots. I was wondering if I put a high temp thermostat inside to shut pump off, thay way the heat will go back to furnace that way fan will turn off causing not as much wood burning, and me melting. Any help handy and thanks.

 How is your house heat set up; baseboard heat (or rads) with a single zone control or multiple zone controls?  More info may help with trouble shooting.

Need more info on your setup, but it sounds like you run the inside pump off the temperature of the water from the outside boiler?  You need to only run the inside pump when a room calls  for heat.

Thanks. The house is set up with 1/2 baseboard and 1/2 rad. The whole system is single zone....  The inside pump is run off a thermostat clamped to pipe 6 in from water to water converter, on the house system. Thanks again every one.  Sorry sometimes I have a hard time saying stuff. Not the same as talking.

Yes some of the heat is by hotwater baseboards, along with old cast iron rads. thanks
