Possible Causes

Thermostat miscalibration, Thermostat located in poor location, Stuck zone valve open, Incorrect maximum supply temperature setting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before working on thermostat wiring or zone valves.

  • Check thermostat location: Ensure the thermostat is not near heat sources, direct sunlight, or drafts. Relocate if necessary.
  • Verify thermostat calibration: Compare thermostat reading to an accurate thermometer. Replace the thermostat if it reads significantly off.
  • Inspect zone valves: Confirm that zone valves close when there is no call for heat. Replace stuck-open valves.
  • Adjust maximum supply temperature: In the Navien installer menu, reduce the maximum supply water temperature to a level appropriate for the emitters (e.g., radiant floors vs. baseboard) to prevent overshooting room temperatures.
