GS Hi, I've got a forced air propane furnace, Luxaire model GSU082MF
GS Series NAGOE (could be a Q) serial #1310002 Controlled by a Honeywell
GS T87F heat only thermostat. This morning I was down in the basement
GS and noticed that it had the initial ignition then that cut off after
GS a while (normal burn) then a couple of minutes later a second
GS ignition which ran a couple of minutes, when that cut off I headed
GS up the stairs only to hear it kick in a third time for a couple
GS of minutes. Total time for this was about 10 to 13 minutes. Before
GS I went down there I had moved the thermostat only to the point which
GS it kicked in, 60º F from 58º F so, it wasn't that drastic a jump.
GS Yeah, I like it on the cool side. The outside temp was 19º F. I do
GS not remember it ever acting in this manner and suspect there might
GS be a problem, Yes? No? Thanks for any input.

have you moved or made any adjustments to the thermostat? if not it could
be
a sign of unit failure coming. Do you have normal maintenance done? if not
it may be time to have it cleaned and tuned.

Had it cleaned about this time last year and he did adjust the thermostat, I
don't know what he did there but he did say the furnace was in good shape
and that he set the thermostat to a 1º something or other, mean anything to
you? I did try to move the HA setting on Sctooz advise from 5 to 6 but moved
it back to 5 as the burner kicked in 4 times at 6. Well, I turned the stat
down, didn't want to try for a 5th. I know it's wasting propane but is it
presenting a fire hazard? When you say "Unit Failure" do you mean the
thermostat or the furnace?

Thanks
