We need more tradespeople
May 19, 2012 | Over many years living in Terrace I’ve learned to place my orders at the first hint repairs may be in order, and then wait until a workman can fit in my job. But if my furnace experience is a typical sign of today’s situation, wait times for a plumber or an electrician could be approaching making an appointment to see a vet, or an orthopedic surgeon for a knee replacement. Scarcely a week goes by when he isn’t coaxed to move to the Alberta oil sands for a high-salaried job. If oil sands’ and Kitimat salaries follow, even their hourly cost could draw closer to that of medical specialists. Conversation during my two earliest calls to the office led me to fantasize building was booming in the Nass requiring installation of basic heating equipment and plumbing fixtures in several houses, maybe even an apartment house. Several weeks was not an undue waiting time.

coleman furnace?

Furnace runs, shuts off and comes right back on. Replaced the thermostat & that didn't help. Gas bill is going to be bad this month. Any ideas? gary
we have had the same problem. i talked to coleman to see if it was one of the models that was recalled and it wasnt. they said several things could cause it. assuming it's a gas furnace, the upper limit switch could be switching it off because the firebox was getting too hot before it completeed it's heating cycle, once it cools it starts up again. the ducting could be insufficient to allow the hot air to move out at a rate that will allow enough heat flow resulting in the upper limit switch tripping.
the thermostat could be in a location that warms quickly then shuts off snf cools just as quick- they reccomend moving the thermostat. also if its on a exterior wall it is cooling down too fast. they also reccomend making sure the filters were clean and too not use the super efficient filters because they impede the inlet airflow.
our problem was when they installed the furnace, the installer dropped the furnace down and collapsed part of the ducting underneath restriciting airflow and causing a heat buildup. it's better now - somewhat, and i have a thermometer that lets me see if the room is getting to temperature before it shuts off.
if you have a digital thermostat, are the batteries good and the low end models dont seem to work very well
hope it helps

How can I adjust the pilot light flame higher on my Coleman furnace, Model 7680, Series 859, S/N 3719217?
On many gas control valves for both furnaces and water heaters, wall heaters, etc, the large, usually silver colored flat headed screw that Captain Jack is referring to is located in a place where you can remove it. Underneath that is a smaller screw which is not to be removed, but simply adjusted either up or down, (count the turns, both full and partial so you can return it to the original position if needed). You should have the pilot lit when adjusting to see the increase or decrease of flame. I've done this on many gas valves, and never, never ever have I found a pressure regulator on a gas valve.
