carrier furnace problem

You obviously got a bad thermostat. Take it back and get a better one. If you didnt know by now, "its almost always the thermostat." Bubba

Hi, Are you using analog or digital thermostat? If it' an old analog type, how about replacing it with a programmable digital. Let the program do the job of turning the thing up/down. Buy a good one like Honeywell.

common problem, replace the thermostat again, home depot has dozens of very inexpensive models to choose from im sure replacing several thermostats will be cheaper than calling a competent technician to come out and perform a rotuine check and cleaning , which BTW when was that last done ?????????

p.s. i think i know what your problem is , and its not a tstat you need a service call from a competent tech

There are a number of safety features in your furnace related to it starting up. I suspect one of them is acting up and the problem has nothing to do with your thermostat. Unless you're exceptionally handy and have some eletrical background your best bet is to just call a good service guy.

Listen to the man he is so right. Call out a HVAC technician.

They are all copper colored under the insulation.

No, we use multi-meters and experience, just like the real HVAC techs. do in the U.S.A. Wire colours are sometimes helpful but I don't rely on them as I suspect you do.It's a simple heating setup.Do you think if R and W were connected with two black wires it would hard to diagnose?

A "Real HVAC Tech!" Omg! Let me bow to you! ROFL

Geald;

The thought of the day; call you local HVAC tech, tell him / her to bring out a Honeywell S86 ignitor [common on that furnace] and flame sensor. Get out your wallat and pay the HVAC tech to diagnose and complete the repair. Enjoy your heater!
