Oil burner - 2 zones - one not working
Hello,
I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I have a Beckett oil burner, it also heats our hot water. It has a 2 zone heating system. 1- downstairs and 2 second floor. I doubt this has anythingto do with my current problem but I'll just give it as background info. Last week we had a new oil pump, motor and fan replaced on our burner. I was told I also need a new sensor for the igniter. I'll do that myself shortly. The question I have is - now I get no heat to zone 1 - zone 2, the upstairs of my house get hot as hades. Downstairs - nothing. Any ideas? Thanks for taking the time to read this and if you can help. THANKS!! |

Often the downstairs zone is powered off the aquastat while the upstairs comes off a separate relay. Sometimes, however, they both come off a relay panel with the downstairs usually being zone 1. Which do you have?
Pictures would be a huge help. Do you have a voltmeter & know how to use it? |

I truly appeciate the hellp with this. The burner itself I can do some repairs and I am pretty good at replacing things. But this part of the boiler operation I have very limited knowledge. Once my son comes home I'll send pictures.I beleave I have a very basic old set up. I have a Honeywell LB124A Triple aquastat relay above the burner on the right. Then on the side of the boiler I have a Honeywell TYPE RA89A relay.
I do have a voltage meter and can use it. Tahnks for your time and patience with this. |

Most likely the downstairs circ is connected to the L8124. Turn up the downstairs stat & turn the upstairs all the way down. Measure voltage between C1 & C2 on the aquastat. You should get 120 volts. If you do & the circ is not running, you probably have a bad circ motor. What make & model are the circulators?

I have baseboard forced hot water system with 3 zones. The problem is that the 3rd zone (upstairs) only kicks in when the 1 zone (basement) is working. I changed the thermostat in the 3rd zone but to no avail. I only have heat in the 3rd zone when the 1st zone is working.
Our heating system seems to be operational... specially given the fact that 2 out of the three zones work like a charm. The zone that doesn't work uses a "Honeywell V8043 E 1012 motorized valve", and since the problem started, we've replaced the motor only... and it didn't work. Now, we've...
