If your furnace keeps blowing hot air and won’t stop, the furnace burners aren’t turning off. Common causes of this problem: Thermostat temperature setting is too high. The furnace will run constantly to keep up on a cold night.Click to see full answer. Keeping this in view, what causes a furnace to run constantly?Dirty furnace filters are one of the biggest causes for a furnace to continuously run or “short cycle”. The dirty filter restricts airflow across the heat exchanger which causes it to get too hot! The furnace goes into cool down mode and will run the fan continuously and will cause your furnace to blow cold air.Similarly, why wont my furnace fan shut off? If your furnace fan won’t turn off, you most likely have one of these 3 problems: Your furnace fan limit switch is set to “manual override” The fan limit switch is faulty and needs to be replaced. There’s a problem in your thermostat wiring. Subsequently, question is, what do you do when your heater won’t turn off? If the heating system won’t turn OFF, that is if heat keeps being delivered even when you don’t want it, set the thermostat to its lowest temperature setting and wait three to five minutes. Or if your thermostat has a HEAT OFF COOL or FAN AUTO OFF control, set the control to OFF or COOL.How long can a furnace run continuously?Most systems should run about 2-3 cycles per hour. How long should the furnace or AC run in a given cycle? Typically 10-15 minutes in mild weather. The closer you get to the max design temperature in heating (0 Degrees) or cooling (90 Degrees) the longer the run cycle will be.
