Our Noma 5+1+1 Programable Thermostat is set to 20. However, it continues to heat our house without stopping. We have to shut it off at the actual furnace to get it to turn off. The repairmen I spoke to said to just a buy a new one - I bought the Noma one today and it is still happening. They don't want to help. What do I do??

If it's new, then I would almost bet that it's been wired improperly when being installed.
All thermostats such as the one you describe have 4 wire points located on the inside of the unit. These are marked with letters designating which color wire goes to which terminal. Y for yellow, R for red and so on. Now not all thermostat wires located inside your wall have the same color coding as the terminals on your thermostat.. Some electricians use different color wires other then those indicated on your thermostat.
This really isn't a problem because a wire is a wire regardless what color sheathing it has on it. The important thing is to mark the wires that came off the old thermostat so that the proper colr goes to the proper terminal on the thermostat.
Perhaps you may a blue and white striped wire that went to the Y terminal....if so, then that's the same place you need to put the wire to on the programable thermostat.
If you need to decypher which wire goes to which terminal on the thermostat, you can check the coding practise on the controller where the wire is attatched to in the control at the furnace. Mark on a piece of paper whcih color wire goes to which coded terminal and copy the same print on the thermostat.
If this sounds to confusing to you, then I suggest you contact a Heating contractor to come in and do a check on the thermostat for wiring schematics. It is also possible that the thermostat is faulty, or the battery needs to be replaced on the programmer.
Good luck in your venture.

Could be a faulty thermostat or maybe it's something else. Either way I'd be thinking of getting a gas safe approved engineer out to take a look. That way the problem is fixed quickly and easily, plus if you pick STL Heating like I did, then you'll know you won't be paying over the odds.

it sounds like a problem with the programmed settings. Make sure it isn't scheduled to heat during certain times. Check and double check and keep trying different variables to see if you can get it to work right. If it isn't the programmed settings it may be installed incorrectly or it may even be a problem with the furnace being stuck "on". You might just have to call someone else to come look at it if that repairman wont help you there are probably dozens of others who would. Good Luck.

each and every radiator has 2 valves one is the regulator and the 2d is the lock look after valve (this has a clean cap on it so it can not be became) First set the temperature on the boiler, this shouldn't exceed 60 levels; infact the water from the boiler must be such that it is purely uncomfortable to hold the pipe as hostile to easily touching it. it is controlled on the boiler no longer the room stat. then with room stat set to twenty+ deg and all radiators with their regulator valves huge open touch each and every physique they might desire to be warm from surprising to backside and that they might desire to all experience a similar ( back of hand staying power attempt) see how long you may carry your epidermis against the radiator. in the event that they do no longer look to be all equivalent they then choose balancing To stability the radiators get rid of the undeniable disguise on the lock look after valves and open them totally utilising the two a spare regulator cap or an adjustable spanner. Then screw each and every radiators lock look after valve down a a million/2 a turn or greater preserving the rads on a similar temp, larger rads will require fewer turns than small rads, towel rails will require greater turns. as quickly as equivalent replace the lock look after, set room stat to ecconomical 18 degs then alter each and every room for heat temperature by ability of adjusting the regulator

It would be the shut-off switch in the furnace that is connected to the thermostat, or maybe it isn't connected correctly on either side.

its pretty hard to wire a new one wrong so its alll coler coded get a tech out from a different co. the sending unit on the valve body may not be getting the signal from the thermo.

switch repair companies and get a decent tech out to your house to check out your system. Your contact panel could be arced open making it run non stop. This can destroy your system if its not fixed. and the repair is usually less then $200, way less then installing a new system!!!! Blessings

Replace the battery.

Maybe it's wired up wrong?
