Furnace “Short Cycles”
A short-cycling furnace is one that turns on and off frequently, rather than running in longer, more efficient cycles. This can lead to inefficient heating, higher energy bills, and potential damage to furnace components. What Causes Short Cycling?Short cycling can be caused by several factors:Oversized Furnace:A furnace that’s too large for your home may turn off before the desired temperature is reached, leading to short cycles. Thermostat Issues:Faulty thermostat wiring, improper thermostat settings, or a malfunctioning thermostat can cause short cycling. Airflow Problems:Clogged air filters, restricted registers, or ductwork issues can prevent the furnace from operating efficiently, leading to short cycling. Other Factors:Dirty heat exchanger, low refrigerant levels (in air conditioners), or a faulty flame sensor can also contribute to […]
