A furnace should cycle on and off after every 4 hours.
It sends an electric signal to the valve to tell it to turn on or off.
Yes, turning the furnace on and off with the power switch instead of using the thermostat can be harmful. This practice can lead to wear and tear on the furnace components, as they are not designed for frequent power cycling. Additionally, it may disrupt the furnace's cycling and efficiency, potentially leading to overheating or other safety issues. It's always best to use the thermostat for regular operation to ensure proper control and maintenance.
Perhaps the pilot light is out and the gas has been turned off at the valve.
The red light should blink for three minutes, then turn off for three minutes. Then it should repeat the cycle. That is how you know it is working. If the red light stops blinking completely then the unit needs to be replaced.

A heat pump will do this, a furnace should not. Are you sure you have a furnace?
A refrigerator should cycle on and off about 50 of the time to maintain optimal performance and energy efficiency.
The fan should run for about 3-5 minutes after the furnace shuts off to help distribute the remaining heat throughout the house.
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.

If it cycles off and on too often, it may not provide enough dehumidification. It takes awhile for the evaporator coils inside to get cool, which is when they provide adequate dehumidification.
Generally you should cycle on creatine for four weeks, then off for four weeks. Check out the link to see in detail how to properly cycle on and off creatine.
If it cycles off and on too often, it may not provide enough dehumidification. It takes awhile for the evaporator coils inside to get cool, which is when they provide adequate dehumidification.
