Q. What’s causing my furnace to short-cycle?
A.Short-cycling occurs when a furnace repeatedly turns on and off without completing a full heating cycle. This common issue reduces efficiency, increases energy bills, and shortens the furnace’s lifespan by placing unnecessary strain on the system.
Several factors can cause short-cycling.
Clogged air filter: A dirty filter restricts airflow, causing the system to overheat and shut down prematurely.
Poor thermostat placement: If a thermostat is too close to a heat source, it will get a false reading and turn the furnace off too soon.
Oversized furnace: A furnace that’s too large for your home heats the space too quickly, resulting in frequent on-and-off cycles.
Blocked vents: Obstructions such as furniture or draperies near your vents impede the heat from circulating, leading to the furnace running more than it needs to be. Go around your home, check each room for those obstructions, and move things to give your vents clear space.
Faulty parts: Malfunctioning components like a dirty flame sensor can disrupt the heating cycle.
If you notice your furnace short-cycling, contact Atlantic-Pratt so we can investigate the situation and make any needed repairs. The best way to keep your furnace running efficiently is through regular professional maintenance with an annual tune-up by our team of skilled service technicians. A tune-up is included in all our furnace Maintenance Plans.
Q. How often should I change my furnace’s air filter?
A. Changing your furnace’s air filter is a simple but vital task for any homeowner. Over time, filters get clogged with dust, dirt, and allergens. This blockage restricts airflow, forcing your HVAC system to work harder, which increases energy bills and leads to unnecessary wear.
A clean air filter not only boosts your system’s efficiency but also improves your home’s indoor air quality. This is especially important for family members with allergies or respiratory conditions. Regularly replacing the filter also reduces the risk of expensive repairs and ensures your furnace runs efficiently when you need it most.
We recommend checking your filter every one to three months. If you have pets in your home, check your filter once a month as fur and dander can clog the air filter. This small step can lead to significant savings and a healthier, more comfortable home.
