    Hi all

    I have a house which has gas heating with timed zones
    (ie. one for up stair, one for down stairs and for hot water) The problem is that when i have one of the zones on the other zones comes on as well even though it isnt suppose to,

    Can any one shine some light on this and how to fix this,

    Thanks

    Without knowing your setup it's hard to give a definite answer.

    There could be an easy explanation: if you have a separate thermostat for each zone and the boler comes on via the timer, then all zones will be on if the temperature is below the set point (I assume you have a single timer). Have you tried turning down each thermostat down to see if the corresponding zone valve closes.

    could be a wiring or plumbing problem so if u can describe the system a little more maybe we can help.

    On the wiring side, if not done properly once 1 motorize valve is closed the current may be getting to other valves

    As already stated this could be a wiring problem. I posted a drawing (post #6) here showing how this can be wired allowing individual zones to be operated independently.

    Hope this helps!
