Question about cycle times, which is worse for a furnace- short frequent cycles or longer infrequent cycles?
Asking because the thermostat was just moved to a room where the temperature was more constant from where it used to be located however it was noticed that the furnace is now cycling every 40 minutes at 8 minutes per cycle when it's 20 degrees outside (going to hate to see what it does when it gets colder). Anywho, is that to frequent of a cycle time for the furnace or an American Standard (Freedom 90) mfd 2003?
Also the thermostat is a White Rogers model from 2003 (1F80-261).
Honestly I'd like get a thermostat that would limit the cycling times to no more than once an hour.
