Will be starting up my owb Nov. 1, but right now I am having an issue with my first floor zone. The past couple of days my first floor has been heating really warm. Last night I turned off the tstat. and even removed its batteries thinking this morning the first floor would be cold. However, this morning I could tell that the first floor was still receiving heat . Could it be that the zone valve has gone bad? I appreicate any thoughts on this issue before I call the heating man.

Any ways to close it?. Or am I looking at replacement?

Try opening it manually and flushing it like you would if you were purging air from that zone,at the same time give it a good tap on the valve with a wrench, this may dislodge anything stuck in the valve, the zone valve is normally closed with lack of power so it is not wiring or a bad valve, it is stuck open for whatever reason. it could also be a short in the TT wires, try pulling one wire off at the zone valve relay for that zone and see if it closes, if it does, there is a short somewhere.
