Problems with the thermostat

Over the past few days, I realized that something was wrong with my gas furnace, however the lake house wasn’t being heated constantly and I was hearing the gas furnace run in unusual patterns, but i’m never in my house during the afternoon because I’m at work, so I wasn’t sure how long the issue was occuring.

I didn’t remember hearing the gas furnace run periodically the previous weekend, so I was starting to think that the issue was recent.

I did the only thing I knew to do and I reached out to the HVAC business. I told them that some rooms were heated to a weird temperature and that the gas furnace was running periodically. I also told the HVAC company that it sounded like my gas furnace was cutting on and cutting off randomly, but when the HVAC professional arrived, she was ready to repair my gas furnace to find the issue. She confirmed my belief that the concerns I was experiencing and she immediately told myself and others that she assumed it was the temperature control. This answer surprised myself and others because I wasn’t considering the temperature control issue! After running a few tests, she confirmed that the temperature control was the issue. According to him, the temperature control wasn’t getting an accurate study of the rooms in and around the house, which was causing my gas furnace to run incorrectly. The gas furnace wasn’t sure if it should be heating or not. The HVAC professional recalibrated my temperature control and everything began working respectfully. I’m thankful that I hired an HVAC professional because I would have never known that my temperature control was causing my gas furnace to run inefficiently.

The Thermostat Was Affecting the Furnace

Over the weekend, I realized that something was wrong with my furnace.

The house wasn’t being heated consistently and I was hearing the furnace run in irregular patterns.

I’m never home during the day because I’m at work, so I wasn’t sure how long the issue was occuring. I didn’t remember hearing the furnace run sporadically the previous weekend, so I assumed that the issue was recent. I did the only thing I knew to do and I called the HVAC company. I told them that some rooms were heated to a different temperature and that the furnace was running sporadically. I also told the HVAC company that it sounded like my furnace was cutting on and cutting off randomly. When the HVAC professional arrived, he was ready to service my furnace to find the issue. He confirmed the issues I was experiencing and he immediately told me that he assumed it was the thermostat. This answer surprised me because I wasn’t considering the thermostat as the issue. After running a few tests, he confirmed that the thermostat was the issue. According to him, the thermostat wasn’t getting an accurate reading of the rooms throughout the house, which was causing my furnace to run irregularly. The furnace wasn’t sure if it should be heating or not. The HVAC professional recalibrated my thermostat and everything began working properly. I’m glad I hired an HVAC professional because I would have never known that my thermostat was causing my furnace to run inefficiently.

The best furnace on the market

When my heated furnace stopped heating our home efficiently, I knew I needed to purchase a brand new furnace.

I knew that a new furnace was in our near future based on its age, although I was waiting for some of my utility bills to increase before I made an executive decision.

That afternoon came, so I ended up booking a Heating, Ventilation and A/C professional to come assess our new furnace plus supply me with suggestions on a new furnace. I was interested in switching over to a gas furnace since I had heard some pretty good things about them, and with the extreme Winter weather we experienced on a constant basis, I liked the method of having a gas furnace to supply our heat. Ice storms caused a lot of power outages, which left our lake house without heat for afternoons sometimes. If I had a gas furnace, I wouldn’t be forced to worry about living without heat anymore! Switching from an electric furnace to a gas furnace was going to be costly, but it was the best option for me. With this knowledge, the Heating, Ventilation and A/C supplier told me to apply for a loan with the bank so I could afford the new gas furnace without causing financial concerns. I could make a small down payment plus then gradually spent our savings off the cost of the furnace for a low quarterly cost, but applying for the loan was surprisingly self-explanatory plus the Heating, Ventilation and A/C supplier was super helpful to work with. I was able to select the best gas furnace for our lake house plus select a few carbon monoxide detectors to install. The carbon monoxide detectors were an added bonus to help me feel better.

Going with something new

When my heating unit had stopped heating my home efficiently, I knew I needed to purchase a modern heating unit! I knew that a modern heating system was in my near future based on its age, despite the fact that I was waiting for my utility bills to increase before I made an executive decision, and that afternoon came, so I hired an Heating and A/C guy to come assess my modern heating system plus provide myself and others suggestions on a modern heating system. I was interested in switching over to a gas heating system because I had heard only positive things about them… With the drastic Winter time weather the people I was with and I experienced more often than not, I liked the system of having a gas heating system to supply my heat. Ice storms caused a lot of power outages, which left my house without heat for afternoons on occasion. If I had a gas heating system, I wouldn’t need to worry about living without heat anymore, and switching from an electric heating system to a gas heating system was going to be expensive, but it was the best option moving forward! Knowing this, the Heating plus A/C corporation told myself and others to apply for a loan with the bank so I could afford the modern gas heating system without causing financial stress. I could make a small down payment and then slowly pay off the cost of the heating system for a low bi-weekly cost. Applying for the loan was surprisingly easy plus the Heating and A/C corporation was unquestionably helpful to work with. I then had the chance to select the best gas heating system for my house and select a few carbon monoxide detectors to install. The carbon monoxide detectors were an added perk to help myself and others believe safer.
