Hi
Not sure if my title explains my problem or not.
Furance installed summer 2008, started up Sept 1/08. First 2 months were rough till we fiqured out a wiring problem inside the house.
Since then things were going along good. Plenty of heat and inside
thermostat set at 78 most of the time. Far end of house where no
register is in the new room, is at 70 degrees.
Well a few days ago, he notices the furnace is staying between 196 and 200, and won't drop down. Makes sure to check everything. Set point is 185 which is a factory setting. Call the dealer and he says make sure door and damper are okay. Yup, they are. Then he thinks it's because we are not using a lot of our heat...it's going back to the furance, still hot, and each time it runs through again, it keeps building more heat. Culmative effect. Tells me to tell him to put less wood in the furnace. Keep the coals down, etc.
Okay. So after putting no wood in it for a day, he sees the temp drop down. All good. So he puts only a few sticks in the furnace at a time.
Yesterday he tells me we are at high temps again. This morning, we are at 200 and he tells me to to fill the washer load with hot water only. To draw down some of the heat.
Just over 1250 sq ft here. Central NY. Cold weather. Two adults in the house. And it appears maybe our furance is too efficent ?
The furnace is set up for a second run for the garage but we don't have that line laid yet. Should we be doing that ?
Any one else with a smiliar problem ?
