    Not a job for most DIYers but your furnace has a sensor that tells it when the unit has heated up to the point to start the blower, it has gone bad. Get your make and model and call 3 HVAC contractors for their bid to replace the failed sensor. For now just leave your blower on ON rather than AUTO. I actually tell most folks to do this even if their firnace is working properly. Leaving the blower on 24/7 uses just slightly more elctricity than starting and stopping, it will also make the home temps more even and comfortable. If I were you I'd just do that and skip getting the sensor fixed for the time being
