I have a Modine 47 (115v) fan heater, a thermostat and a zone valve. Currently the thermostat controls the zone valve. How can I wire these together to get the thermostat to control the zone valve and the fan heater?

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you trying to control the fan and zone valve together so the fan only runs when the zone valve is open supplying hot water? If so you will need to install a blower relay that will work off the 24 Volt supply to the zone valve if the zone valve is 24 volts. If a different voltage for the zone valve you will have to get a relay with a coil that matches the zone valve on the unit.

I hope you or someone you know has experience with electric.

There is a line volt thermostat included... will that help with anything??

You will need to use a relay to activate the fan. Use a relay with the same coil voltage as used on the zone valve. This way you can feed the relay with a circuit for the fan only and activate it off the zone valve power circuit without causing any overload or inner connect problems.
