Hey folks, first time here...
I've got a troublesome Carrier 58GS100-GA gas furnace. The current thing that's bothering me is the time that it takes from "Heat On" from the thermostat, until "fan on, blowing heat". Currently, it's taking up to 3 minutes for the whole cycle of events.
That would be; (1.) thermostat sends the "Heat, please" signal, (2.) pilot fires up, (3.) burners open up and pilot lights them, and (4.) blower activates and blows heat.
The issue is the "2."-"3." section. It's taking about 1 1/2 minutes to 2 full minutes from pilot to burners going.
Does this seem like an awfully long time? And, if yes, where would you recommend I start looking to fix it?
(btw, I've replaced the Spark igniter/LockOut Control Box a couple of years ago)
Many thanks for any/all help
