I live in a condo, and I started experiencing this problem in the middle of last winter.
I will notice that the temperature will drop past when the furnace should kick in. I found that tripping the circuit breaker on and off will usually do the trick. It would happen intermittently. It could work fine for days at a time, or I could find that I need to re-set it multiple times in a day.
I had an HVAC person come in and check it out, and he found nothing wrong with the system and suggested that I change my thermostat. I switched from a programmable Honeywell to a programmable Lux, and it seemed to do the trick. The problem only happened one more time late in that winter, and never had any issues in the summer with air conditioning.
Now fast forward to last week, and the problem resurfaces. I changed the batteries in my new thermostat and the issue still would come up. Although, instead of having to trip the breakers, I found that sometimes turning on/off the thermostat or removing it and replacing it back would do the trick. Except for today, nothing but tripping the circuit breaker on and off would work. Any suggestions?
My furnace is electric - Goodman A24-10
My thermostat is Ace model #4115176 re-branded Lux.
Thanks for any help!
