How My Furnace Will Run More Efficient?
How can my furnace will run more efficient? Should the fan be set up to run longer periods or shorter periods after the burner goes off? My York furnace has three different auto-settings: 1-minute, 2 minutes and 3 minutes. For me I believe that the 3 minutes setting will be more more efficient since, it will use more of the heat from the already hot elements & heat exchanger after the burner goes off...! What's your opinion, I am wright or wrong...?

never anything bad about having it running longer it moves more air from the cold areas as well. circulation is never a bad thing. with the new high efficient furnaces out today they are better running more often than for long periods of off. it will also make alot more areas comfortable ( hot and cold areas of house)

It depends of the furnace...As long as the furnace heat elements still hot for as long as those 3 minutes then you'll be right..If the air starts getting too cold at the 3 minutes elapsed time, then you must try a shorter cycle as for example like # two..Good luck..

The furnace should run for however long it takes to bring your home up to the set temperature, then it should shut off until the temperature drops half a degree, then come on again.
I have mine set at 22C, it comes on again at 21.5C.
However, if the furnace reaches its maximum operating temperature, the internal temperature gauge shuts down the gas and runs the fan for a minimum of five minutes, before re lighting.
I cannot imagine that much less than five minutes would give the furnace time to cool down.

,you could be right but many things are combined for it to be efficient ,like it sounds like hot air and if it is have all filters replaced and be sure the furnace is cleaned each fall and set up with Gages not some old guy just looking at the flame saying its ok they have these tools to set it up like in the factory when they are tasted and give the btu rating
