It seems to me our furnace service company is adjusting the furnace to the heat the house OR the water. Every time they leave one or the other works properly - never both. Can anyone tell me what to adjust? Is it simply valve adjustment?
Thanks.

I have a gas forced electric ignition furnace. I have noticed when the temp out side is above 40 my furnace works great. Once it drops in the 30's outside my furnace will kick on, the fan will start but then kicks off. I have to manually go to the termostate and lower the temp before the furnace kicks back on. I had someone check it they said my batteries were dead in the thermostate..well they were brand new batteries. It has been doing this for the past couple of weeks. Any suggestions would be great.
