A furnace that turns itself off and on randomly is known as "short-cycling." It can be a sign of an underlying issue with your furnace, such as clogged air filters or overheating components. Other times it may be caused by a thermostat issue. Short cycling can also cause other problems to arise, such as increased energy bills, reduced system lifespan, and uncomfortable temperatures throughout the house.
To fix the short cycling issue, you must first identify what is causing it. The most common causes are dirty air filters, improper thermostat settings, closed supply registers in some rooms, and blocked condensate drains. Once you’ve identified the root cause of the short cycling problem, you can begin to address it. This may include cleaning or replacing the air filter, adjusting the thermostat settings, opening up supply registers in rooms that are too cold and unclogging condensate drains.
In some cases, short cycling could be caused by a more serious issue within the furnace itself, such as a malfunctioning blower motor or bad heat exchanger. If this is the case, contact a professional HVAC technician to diagnose and repair your furnace before further damage occurs.
It’s important to fix any short cycling issues as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your furnace and ensure it runs efficiently for years to come. With regular maintenance and proper repairs, you can keep your furnace running for a long time.
