Does it feel 65? Could be that tstat is out of calibration, or bad. Get another thermometer and hang on wall beside the tstat compare the 2. you might bypass the tstat for a while see if the furnace runs continually without cutting off,if it does run fine you will know its not the fought of the furnace

Post brand/model# of indoor unit. Heat pump system? Perhaps the outdoor unit isn't running? Thermostat not level, if mercury-type? Gas furnace? Status light blinking, if present?
