To the HVAC experts:
We had installed a Bryant 80x Preferred Plus furnace a year or so ago. In the evenings, our thermostat is set down to 66 degrees and by the time we wake up it calls for 70 degrees; however, by the time I'm walking out the door, it's only up to 67-68 degrees.
Our old furnace (15 years old) would run and run and run until it reached the desired temperature; however, this new unit will run for 10 minutes and then the burners will shut off for 3-5 minutes. Then they will fire up again and burn for 10 minutes, and then shut off for 3-5 minutes. Meanwhile the fan continues to run.
So, to my inexperienced mind, it seems like the furnace is hitting some upper temp limit. My guess is that is not normal and should be looked at ASAP?
TIA.
