Furnace Broken & Temperature Dropping?

Don't wait - our emergency technicians are standing by 24/7

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.
