Central heat and air keeping coming on randomly...

I had a "hard" power outage a couple of nights ago and all the sudden the blower keeps coming back on randomly, even though I have the Honeywell controller in the off postion (between heat and air) and the other on auto (not on).



I opened my windows to enjoy the nice weather and about once an hour it will start blowing for a few minutes then stop. Before that, it wouldn't stop at all, but someone told me to make sure the doors in on the system in the garage were on tight. I messed around and it went off. Now it just comes on occasionally.



My electric bill is going to be more than my budget if I can't find a fix.



Thanks!

If its a digital control, make sure the blower switch is on *AUTO*, and not

*CIRC*. The CIRC position will turn the blower on for about 10 minutes each hour.

Typical big box store stat. Change the batteries, and if it still does it, then your gonna need to call a tech out to correct the problem

Thanks, I will try that too. Someone wrote to pull the power at the breaker for 10 minutes, so I am getting ready to try both.

I pulled the batteries out of the thermostat for 10-15 seconds. When I put them back in, the fan immediately kicked on and finally shut off.

Hi, If bettery is getting lo the 'stat will display "batt" for about a month B4 it quits. If power failure occured, it is good idea to reset the furnace by turning the breaker off/on and likewise reset the 'stat like you did. I usually replace set of battery every year to have peace of mind. My 'stat is a wireless type, battery state is more critical.
