Don’t ignore furnace short-cycling

Yes, this on-again, off-again system may still keep your home or business warm in the midst of a New York winter.

But you’re short-changing yourself and hurting energy efficiency if you don’t take action. You want the system to be normal and turn on only a couple times per hour.

“Short-cycling” puts unnecessary strain on the system and leads to expensive repairs.

Probable causes are faulty components, such as the pressure switch or the thermostat. They are relatively easy to diagnose and fix.

A much more complicated cause of short-cycling: The furnace is too big for the house.
