Hello all.
New here to the forum. 30 years ago I changed from coal to oil furnace. Now just today (11/30/12) They installed a Newmac 86g oil/wood coal system. I have a I think maybe a dumb question. Sorry but here gos. I made a nice fire out of wood, not coal yet. The thing is, the fire is ok but the cold air blower fan keeps running won't shut off. Two thermostats on wall. I have the oil one set a 69 degrees. The wood coal thermostat is set at 70 degrees. The Wood coal thermostat shows the room temp getting upto 78 degrees and the fan won't shut off. so I keep going down to the basemement and shutting the whole furnace off to shut the fan off. There is no fan switch on any of the two thermostats. Just a system slide switch that has heat and off. I slid that off but the fan blower still kept running. Like I said above, I had to go down and turn the whole system switch off to shut the blower down. Now I guess I let it just run off the oil part of the furnace. Untill I can get a guy to check it. Late now and Sat. tomorrow. They have emergency people. Maybe will call soon. hope oil part will work o.k. I have to keep an eye on it to make sure fan works in oil mode. Just hopeing one of you guys can answer now. Thanks PS. in Western Pennsylvania.
