Is your heating system constantly running? Not only can this be annoying, but it can also be a sign that your furnace is not functioning efficiently.
So, why is it running incessantly? Check out what causes an improperly running heater and call the experts at Precision Heating & Air to inspect your system and pinpoint any issues.
Reasons Your Heating System is Running Nonstop
Check Your Thermostat
First things first — check your thermostat settings to ensure it is set correctly. Make sure your thermostat isn’t forcing the fan to blow nonstop. Try shutting the furnace down by lowering the thermostat to a temperature that’s lower than the current room temperature.
If the furnace was in the middle of a heating cycle, wait 3 to 4 minutes for the blower fan to stop running. If your furnace continues to heat constantly but can’t reach your set temperature, have a professional inspect your system.
Poor Air Seal
There may be air leaking from your home without you even knowing it! We encourage you to check your doors and windows for any cracks, which could be leaking warm air from your home. If you find any cracks, use caulk as a sealant.
Clogged Air Filter
Air filters should be clean to allow warm air to circulate at home. When your air filter is clogged, it can lead to poor furnace performance and cause your heating system to inefficiently run.
Closed Air Vents
Check your air vents to ensure they are in the open position. If too many of your vents are closed, this can affect your furnace’s operation.
