Why does the furnace water cool when it's not calling for heat?
The water being held in the water tank when the furnace shuts off is at a set temp, the water tank hopefully is insulated, as time passes, the water temp has to drop because the furnace has not come on to maintain the set temp, also the controller could be faultly that controls the water temp for the hot water heater, the only time you have hot water is when the furnace runs.
How is your endocrine system like the thermostat in your house?
The negative feedback system. It works much the way a thermostat works. When the temperature in a room drops below a set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to turn on. Once the furnace has raised the temp in the room to the set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to shut off. It will continue to stay off until the thermostat signals that the temp has dropped again.
Why does a home ac blow heat until it gets about 2 degress below what it's set for and it start's blowing cool air?
That is the function of the fan/limit control on your furnace. When the thermostat nears the point where the room temp setpoint is satified it shuts off the flame. The fan/limit control keeps the fan on for a minute or so to cool the furnace down before shutting off. Conversly, if your watch your furnace at start up you will see the flame lights first but the fan does not come on for a minute or so to allow the furnace to get hot and avoid blowing cold air into the home.
What are the set backs to having an oil furnace?
There are some set back to having an oil furnace. Some of the set backs include the increasing price in oil. This means that it will be more expensive to heat a home as the oil prices increase. Another set back is all of the maintenance it requires to have an oil tank.
Device for regulating furance heat?
A device for regulating furnace heat is the thermostat. A programmable thermostat can be set to control the temperature inside the home on a regular schedule. The thermostat is set to a desired temperature and then the furnace turns on and off to accomplish the desired heat level.
How can you test thermostat in your furnace?
Set thermostat to desired temperature; lets say, 70 degrees Fahrenheit, a few seconds will go by then the furnace should activate. Once the furnace heats the room to the set temperature the furnace should shut off.

How many watts does an electrical furnace draw?
An electric home furnace is in the neighbourhood of 10 kW to 50 kW depending on the square foot area of the home. A 10 kW furnace would require a 50 amp sub feed from the main distribution panel, a 50 kW unit would require a complete 200 amp service.In colder climates the cost of operating this type of furnace would be higher. The furnace's heating elements come on in stages depending on how cold the home is on start up. As the home reaches the thermostat set point the home will be maintained by just a couple of the elements.Electric heating of the home is a very expensive way to heat, by blowing air over an element that looks like your oven element.
What is the most efficient way to set a home thermostat?
For basic settings, and best results, set your temp. for cooling at about 75 degrees F. or at the highest possible temp. that you can and still be comfortable. The same is true for the temp. setting for heating mode except in reverse. For heating, about 68 to 70 degrees is normal or the lowest temp. possible. This will allow your A/C to run less and operate more efficiently.
How does a furnace heat a house?
This is how a furnace heats your home. When the thermostat calls for heat, a signal is sent to the gas valve. If you have an older unit, the gas valve checks to see that the thermocouple sees the pilot and if it does, the gas valve opens to send gas to the burners. If you have a newer furnace, the thermostat sends a signal to start the pilit ignition sequence (either spark or hot plate) and then the flame rod sees the pilot (of the hot plate is up to temp.) the gas valve opens to send gas to the burner. The fan control will then send a signal to the blower to start up. As the temp rises in the room, the thermostat sends a signal back to the gas valve to close as it reaches the set point on the thermostat and the blower continues to run until the set point on the fan control is reached and it shuts off ending the cycle.

Can you replace a furnace without replacing cooling system?
yes....just need to support evap coil and plenum while removing furnace and seal back up once furnace is set into place.
