A quick question to see how many of us inspect the furnace on a 85 Degree day when the A/C has been running for the last 24hrs. Is there a potential for damage to the coil or unit if you give it a 1-Hr break before running through a quick cycle.
Are you talking about a gas furnace, boiler or a heat pump?
A boiler I can’t help you. The other two I just test them. You don’t need to run a furnace more than a minute or two. If its working, its working.
If you don’t operate it long enough to ensure the safety switches do not turn off the burner before the stat satisfies your not accomplishing anything useful. You may as well do nothing
He is saying to leave it on long enough to reach the thermostat temp that you set because sometimes the flame will turn on and on before it reaches the temp
That is correct when the burner goes off you must determine if the stat satisfied or a safety shut the burner off. My suggestion is don’t listen to people that just like to talk to hear their head rattle
The high limit switch you dummie they are a very common switch to fail if you knew the difference between sickum and cumhere you would already know that your just showing your ignorance here best go back to NFE thread and talk your BS with the other morons
I let it run for at least ten minutes to ensure that it’s not short-cycling. If it’s going to short cycle, it will occur within 10 minutes. The longest I’ve ever had to go to verify short-cycling was 8 minutes.
