Have you ever checked or adjusted the fan and limit switches in it? I was about 14 years old when I saw some discussion on Bob Villa's show about it. My parents about s**t when the gas bill dropped b

I've not checked it with a thermometer, but feeling the air from a register seems to confirm that the fan switch is pretty close. When the fan starts, after the cool air in the ducts is forced out,

Am I missing something? My fan timing is controlled by my thermostat, as in "the digital control thing that lives upstairs". Lots of settings in it to compensate for various furnace types and person

Ummmm, yes you are missing something - read the first sentence. They're talking about the limit switches in the furnace itself.

Perhaps ... what kind of furnace do you have ? If it's hooked to a typical fossil fuel forced air system, then it doesn't control the main blower directly. As Wayne noted, this type of furnace has b

I guess I'm still asking "why should they matter"? The jobs they were describing the limit switches as doing are done on mine by the thermostat... as in "delaying fan start until a settable period a

Natural gas forced air. I would expect there to be safety devices in place to protect this, although I am really just guessing. However this is a relatively modern unit. I guess what I originally no

Trevor Boicey You are only missing a little bit. The wall thermostat controls the temperature that the furnace is trying to maintain. The ones that are in the furnace are the ones that control the op

Your furnace still has the limit switch stuff to protect itself if the tries to tell it to do something stupid. For example, the thermostat may tell the furnace to turn off the fan as soon as the bur

So in other words, your thermostat combines the functions of the fan thermostat and the room thermostat in the older designs. The fan delays still have to be set, but they are set by time in the roo
