== == Just an idea....I would check your filiter to make sure it is clean. When ours needed changing, our a/c kept kicking on and off. I think it was working so hard to get air through the filter, that it kicked off due to overworking. It would then try again, and the same thing kept happening. It drives you nuts! Once we changed the filter, it worked normally. == ==
The heat it making the duct expand
so when the pilot goes out the gas valve is shut off
an electric furnace runs off of 208/230 Volts while a typical gas furnace runs off of 120 also a gas furnace will have a valve for the gas relay where the gas enters the furnace.
Carbon will not escape with the furnace off and it will only choke you because you will be breathing it carbon not oxygen. So my advice is dont turn the furnace off
A furnace should cycle on and off after every 4 hours.
have baseboard heat boiler runs off furnace want to shut off furnace to save oil will it hurt anything
A heat pump will do this, a furnace should not. Are you sure you have a furnace?
modern heaters have a thermocouple that would shut off gas supply if the pilot goes out.
Turn the thermometer switch to offTurn the electrical service switch by the furnace to offTurn off the main breakerAfter turning off the main breaker disconnect the power line to the furnace
The furnace that is working properly should cycle on and off after every 3 - 4 hours.
no
When the furnace in your home goes out, there are a few things that you need to look at before you get a new furnace. Get the furnace serviced by a professional electrician who will check the heating coils as well as the filter in the furnace. Check the circuit breakers in the furnace to ensure that they are working properly. If the breaker is not making contact, this could be all that you need to replace.
