the furnace would run for quite a while then shut off for a minute or less then start up again and run for quite a while and then shut off for a minute and so forth. With all the insulation I am supposed to have I didnt think this was operating correctly but it did maintain a set temperature.
Is this the experience others have had in cold weather. When I had my Cardinal 5er the furnace didn't run nearly that often.

I too have the problem.
My furnace seems to run constantly. It only shuts off for a minute or so at a time then starts right back up. And the air dosen't feel very warm when it cycles so fast.
My heat pump does the same thing.
I think we need a new thermostat that lets the temp. drop a couple degrees before it starts the heat back up.
I think that there is not enough temature veryation.
I also think that it makes the furnace waste alot of heat by not letting the heat exchanger get very hot while most of the heat just blows outside from the exaust.
My sensor is above my desk, in the left rear..
