Re: Furnace blower running 24/7 attaching some images.
Does the pilot light need to be on all summer long?
The switch pictured shuts the fan off, but keeps the pilot lit. |

| My guess is a stuck or mis-adjusted limit switch. I'd suggest calling someone in to look at it.
No, you don't need to leave the pilot on, but you'll need to remember to relight it before heating season starts!

Two things
1. You do not have enough space for your conventional furnace to breathe (lack of combustion air) once the door is closed.
2. That old thermostat needs to go, upgrade it to a programmable thermostat. |

I see your point. Maybe I should read the entire thing before asking but why did you not call you landlord for this if you were renting? |

You can buy them dirt-cheap like $30-40, use it to save a good chunk of change on fuel, take it with you when you move out and put the old one back in. |

Oh yes and the possible CO due to incomplete combustion will effect your family more than the landlord. |
