Sounds like the pressure contacts or start contacts, whatever,
depending on the kind of system, are borked. Unless you're sure
of what you're doing, ti's probably best to call in an expert.
You likely need something changed out.

AFTER the contactors or whatever are fixed and working, mention
this to whoever's working on it. Most likely it's going to be
self-correcting OR the guy doing the work for you will be
resetting it anyway, but mention it to him just in case it's the
bladder or something in the tank, etc.. The How Things Work web
site might be informative for you at this point.
