Bypass the tstat,, see if each unit runs OK on their own,, one at a time,, sounds like possible bad tstat,, is it a new install ? Or has it been there a while?

Check the low voltage wire outside for evidence of teething critters.

Check the reversing valve it may be stuck or faulty the reversing valve is responsible for changing the directing of the refrigerant when switched into heating /cooling mode it looks like A SOLID PIECE of tubing with 3 smaller tubes coming off from the central body.It requires an electric supply to change the valve

I don`t think the reversing valve would have anything to do with the oil furnace coming on in heat or cool mode of the thermostat,, did I read the question wrong?

The reversing valve has nothing to do with this situation. There I voted also.

Most of these guys get their units fixed, and don`t come back and tell us about the results,, how am I going to know if I won the prize?


Oh! By the way what is the prize?? :):):):)
