Problem with Heating

[Chere53]

I just bought a condo and I find that I turn on the heating control and set it to 70 but the heat keeps coming and it gets to be 82+ degrees in here - I even take the control off the wall, and the heat still stays on. I literally have to turn the circuit breaker off to shut the heat down - What could be my issues - give me anything anyone can think of[:-crazy] =

Your thermostat is either broken or it isn't talking to the furnace. Did you check the batteries in the thermostat?

If turning the heat control doesn't turn it off, I'd suspect a stuck sequencer. The sequencer is a relay that energizes the blower and primary heating element.

Here's an idea, CALL A HEATING CONTRACTOR TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND FIX YOUR PROBLEM.

Jim .. IS RIGHT...

A home inspector could have told you about the problem before you bought the condo.

It sounds like electric heat to me - call an electrician if that is the case. He can inspect your breaker panel as well.
