Why You Should Protect Your Furnace from Short Cycling


Posted November 4, 2019 by colemanheatingca

Furnaces and other HVAC devices follow set temperature when operating. Once they reach the temperature set, they shut off temporarily or stop producing heat or cold to prevent the system from freezing or overheating.

 
There are, however, instances, when the furnace might cycle on and off more often than expected. This is called short cycling. You might notice that your furnace is short cycling when it gets cold easily as if the furnace has stopped functioning.

There are a lot of reasons why short cycling happens. First, if your furnace is not the right size for the space you have, it might heat up your space easily even before the allotted time. It might detect that your space is heated enough, so it will cycle off.

Another reason is because your thermostat is not installed properly. For instance, if it is installed near a device that emits heat or near a window, it might detect that the indoor temperature is warmer than it really is, hence the cycling off.

The constant cycling on and off is bad for the health of your HVAC system. It can cause unnecessary wear and tear on the parts of your furnace. When this happens, you will need Furnace Repair in Maple Ridge, which is often a costlier problem than just having the short cycling problem fixed.

What can you do? it might not need a full-blown furnace repair in Maple Ridge but you still need to have it diagnosed by professionals from Coleman Heating Inc. to understand what is causing it to short cycle.
