I have a FHW system and recently added a 3rd zone on the second floor for a MB suite. The first floor has always had 2 zones. Each zone has it's own circulator pump and thermostat.
Some of the pipes on the second floor remain warm/hot even if I set the thermostat to the OFF position. I even disconnected the thermostat thinking it was faulty, but it didn't help. During the winter I kept the thermostat at 60and had to sleep with open windows (I'm in Maine). Now that the weather is warmer, I have the thermostat in the OFF position and there is still heat radiating from the pipes - enough to make the room very uncomfortable. The oil burner tech who installed the system doesn't think there is a problem.
I will appreciate any info which will give me a heads-up concerning the problem before I call in another technician.
