[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really dislike and am totally disappointed / disgusted with my new energy efficient furnace. Runs forever with such a low flame… basically cool / room temperature air flowing out of the registers. I have to turn my oven on to warm up. 😡😡😡[/quote]

I dont know your specific situation but "running forever with a low flame" might actually be by design.  Having longer run times is better as it is less wear and tear on your furnace.  You also want the fan to be ON all time as it promotes better air flow and a more even feel for temperature in the house.

The "cool air from vents" is a common complaint, especially if you've moved from a gas furnace to a heat pump.  The air might "feel" cooler but it isn't.  The best way to verify is to check your thermostat.  Is the room temperature reading the same as the set point?  If so, your system is doing what its set to do.  If you want it warmer, turn the set point a little higher and see how that affects your comfort.  Don't worry about the specific number (72 vs 74, etc) adjust the set point to where you are comfortable.

All else fails, get a pro to look it over.[/quote]
