Furnace Turning On and Off Repeatedly?

Short cycling is when your furnace turns on and off in rapid succession without completing a full heating cycle. This wastes energy, damages your system, and leaves you uncomfortable. We diagnose and fix the root cause.

Signs Your Furnace is Short Cycling

If you notice these symptoms, your furnace needs professional attention:

Furnace runs for less than 3-5 minutes before shutting off
Frequent clicking sounds as system turns on/off
House never reaches desired temperature
Energy bills higher than normal
Some rooms too hot while others stay cold
Thermostat constantly calling for heat

What Causes Furnace Short Cycling?

Our technicians are experts at diagnosing and fixing these common causes:

Thermostat Issues
Incorrect placement, faulty sensor, or improper calibration causing false readings
Dirty Air Filter
Restricted airflow causing overheating and safety shutdowns
Flame Sensor Problems
Dirty or faulty sensor incorrectly detecting flame and shutting down burners
Oversized Furnace
Furnace too powerful for home, reaching temperature too quickly and cycling off

Why Short Cycling is Serious

Short cycling isn't just annoying - it's damaging your furnace and costing you money:

Dramatically increased wear on furnace components
Higher energy bills from inefficient operation
Uneven heating and temperature fluctuations
Shortened furnace lifespan from excessive cycling
Increased risk of complete furnace failure
Uncomfortable living conditions

The Longer You Wait, The Worse It Gets

Short cycling puts extreme stress on your furnace. Components that should last 15-20 years can fail in just a few seasons. Don't wait - get it fixed before you need a full replacement.

Try These Quick Fixes First

Sometimes short cycling has a simple solution you can try before calling:

1. Check and Replace Air Filter

A dirty filter is the most common cause of short cycling. Replace it with a new one and see if cycling stops within 30 minutes.

2. Verify Thermostat Settings

Make sure thermostat is in HEAT mode, not AUTO. Check that the temperature differential (swing setting) isn't set too low.

3. Clear Area Around Furnace

Ensure nothing is blocking airflow around your furnace and all vents in your home are open and unobstructed.
