Gas Central Heating

This is turtle.

Al , your going to have to give us a model number and serial number of the furnace or at least the brand & when you bought it.

What you say would say a flame sencer but without me knowing what type system you have it is nothing but a guess.

TURTLE

It says Carrier and the model # is CE3AXA000ABAA.

Yes. I changed it last week.

Hey Al, don't you still own the Oakland Raiders?

What kind of filter is it? The pleated filters and washable plastic electrostatic filters are very restrictive and reduce air flow, even when they are new. Better to use a cheap fiberglass filter. Also, don't close any grilles in the rooms you don't use. That also reduces air flow and can cause the problem that you are having.

This is Turtle.

Now again how old is it ? Now again Give the serial number ? What fuel do you have it running on Propane or natural gas or fuel oil ?

Also the 000 number in the model number does not seem to be right. I know of no Carriers furnace with a [000] [no heat ability].

TURTLE

Hi Al, hope you are having a nice day

it sounds as though it is cycling on the limit. have you checked the filter?
