Hi,
We have a Carrier gas furnace and a Honeywell electronic thermostat. They are both only a few years old... The furnace has an auto igniter.
Lately, we have had a recurring problem.
We have it set to raise and lower the temperature at different times of the day, it may work great for days and days... Then it suddenly gets freezing, the thermostat looks OK, but the furnace doesn't come back on... If I go down to the furnace and flick it's breaker (looks like a light switch, next to the furnace, not on the actual breaker box), it will turn back on... Then work for a few days... Until it doesn't.
I have read that a dirty filter may cause problems, so I will replace it... Any other ideas?
Please help... My next step is to pay for a service call... Which I don't want to do unless there truly is a need to fix it.
Thank You
