How does the furnace keep the house at a set temperature?
Use a thermometer to check the temperature in the air next to the thermostat to see if the thermostat is reading correctly. The furnace circulates the air it warms through the house by means of a fan. It is supposed to stay on for two to three minutes after the furnace shuts off in order to push the last of the warm air out into the house.
Why does the thermostat go up when the furnace is shut off?
This is to compensate for the fact that furnaces continue to produce and distribute heat for a short while until the heat exchanger cools down. If the shut-off is properly timed, the room temperature edges up to reach the precise desired temperature a short while after the burners shut off.
