During the cold winter months of the year, many people rely heavily on their furnaces. While you want to make sure that your furnace is able to turn on and heat your home, you also want it to turn off once your home has reached the proper temperature. If you notice that your furnace is not turning off even when your home is warm, there are several things that you can and should do.
Replace Furnace Limit Switch
The most common reason why a furnace may not turn off is that the limit switch is not functioning properly. The limit switch is designed to signal the furnace to turn off once your home is warm enough. If it is not working, the furnace will not know to turn off. Replacing this switch should quickly solve the problem.
Check Thermostat
If you have an old thermostat that is not working properly, it could lead to your furnace constantly being on. If you notice that your furnace is not turning on and off based on changes that you make to your thermostat, this piece is likely to blame. Replacing the thermostat with a brand new one should help solve your problem.
