Why is my heat staying on?
Why is my heat staying on? If the heating system stops then the problem is most likely the thermostat setting, If heating or cooling system keeps running (more than a couple of minutes if you have warm air heat), something else is wrong. Since we have eliminated the thermostat we need to check for damaged or shorted thermostat wires. How do I keep my heater running? Try lowering the thermostat's temperature setting so it's cooler than the current room temperature. For example, if the thermostat is set to 75°F and the room temperature is 68°F, lower the thermostat to 65°F....
