    Cool air sometimes from natural gas heat
    I have gas heat in my home. Sometimes it seems like there's cool air coming out of the vents through the duct work even though I am heating the house. Is this normal?

    Thank you very much.

    At times this would be normal, but those times would normally be limited to the beginning or end of a heating cycle. A unit that short-cycles can run excessively while producing this effect.

    As would a unit that has a flame sensor failing intermittently.

    Well, I really am an idiot.

    The thermostat was set to "circulate" instead of just "heat".

    So, my next question: I have it set to "circulate" for spring, summer, and fall, would you suggest I also leave it there for winter, or just leave it at "heat"?

    Thanks so much,
    Steve
