Zone heating: one floor too hot
Options

I recently had to change the thermocouple on my heater because the pilot light went out and would not stay on when lit. When I turned on the zones (all separate electrically), my second floor overheated (thermostat set for 68 degrees, room temperature increased to 82 degrees). I turned off all zone electrical switches to stop the furnace. Do you think this is a valve problem?

Hot
I'm assuming you have a boiler, but then you say furnace? Is it a zoned forced hot air system? Is the stat working properly, have to check at set temp that the stat is opening the circuit?Rob0 -
Response to Hot
Thank you for responding.
Sorry for the confusion, it is a boiler for hot water heat (radiator).
The first thing I did was check each floor's thermostat to verify the temperatures that turn on the heat. Each floor was different. However, I don't remember what the temperatures were, but do remember that the were in the 60s.0
