Trane Heater Won’t Stop Running (REPAIR)

If your heater won't shut off and you’re worried, don’t panic. The first thing to do is check the thermostat. Check whether your fan is set to On or Auto. If it’s On, try setting it to Auto — this will turn the fan off when the temperature reaches the desired setting. If your thermostat is set extremely high, your furnace might not be able to keep up. A set temperature above 80 degrees strains almost any furnace, especially in a big house or in cold weather. Finally, look at whether your home’s temperature is above or below your set temperature. If it’s below, it means your furnace is working too hard and may have a clogged air filter. If it’s above, it means something might be more seriously wrong and it’s time to call a Pro. Clogged air filters are a major cause of furnace malfunctions. They help regulate the furnace’s air supply, and can seriously overwork your furnace if they’re clogged. When your furnace turns on, its return ducts start pulling in air from your house to heat. Return ducts pass air through the filter, which removes dust, dirt, and other particles. A clogged filter prevents your furnace from getting the air supply it needs. It tries to make up for this by working overtime — but as the filter gets dirtier, this becomes less effective. HVAC systems require the expertise of a professional for proper installation, maintenance, and repairs. It is important to react on time and prevent a breakdown in advance. However if the issue has already happened, an owner’s duty is to react as soon as possible. Remember to contact a heating and air conditioning specialist. By taking care of and properly maintaining your home’s HVAC unit, you’ll have an efficient heating and cooling system that will provide for your family’s comfort for many years to come.
