The furnace has several safety features installed mainly to prevent malfunctions that may lead to fire or explosion. First, the Induced Draft Motor (IDM) blows all of the air inside the unit out through the exhaust flue to ensure that there is no gas build up. This gas build up can cause an explosion when the furnace is turned on, therefore, the unit turns off when IDM fails and there is gas build up.
Next, the IDM pressure switch checks if the IDM is actually running. If the IDM is not working, as a safety measure, the unit will shut off. But if the first two features are working, then, the igniters are powered up to create a flame. However, if there is no burning within four seconds, the system will automatically shut down. And for obvious reasons, the system will not even turn on if one of these safety features fail. If you suspect this may be a problem with your heating and cooling system, then talk to an expert nearest you. If the safety features work and are not the cause of frequent on-and-off cycle of the system, then something else is causing your heater not to fully reach a complete cycle and ineffectively heat your home. Ideally, thermostats must be placed in an area that better reflects the average temperature inside the house. If it’s located somewhere near a heat source, it may think it is warm enough and turn off the furnace, but only to realize seconds later that the room is cold. So, it will send a signal to turn the furnace on. If this becomes repetitive in a very short span of time, then the short cycling will wear down the heater. Prevent this by identifying the best location within your home or ask an expert technician to help you move the thermostat in an ideal spot. It is best to have a maintenance check and routine tune-up before firing up your heater for the winter season. Preparation is the key to a comfortable and stress-free heating service.
