Furnace produces heat but the house never reaches the set temperature; it runs for long periods.

Safety Warning

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Incorrect gas pressure or orifice size, partially blocked heat exchanger, circulation pump on wrong speed, thermostat miscalibrated or poorly located.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not adjust gas components yourself.

Thermostat location: Ensure the thermostat is not located near drafts, direct sunlight, or other heat sources. Relocate it if necessary.
System balancing: Open all supply registers or radiators fully and ensure return air paths are not blocked.
Pump speed: On Bosch hydronic systems with multi-speed pumps, verify the pump is set to the recommended speed (usually medium or as per the manual).
