Should My HVAC Fan Be Set to ON or AUTO?
AUTO runs the fan with heating and cooling calls; ON keeps it circulating. Compare comfort, filtration, humidity, and blower electricity for your own system.

A thermostat can fail, but power, schedule, placement, sensors, and equipment safety controls can mimic failure. Verify the signal and response before replacing it.
A thermostat setting may be accepted while the HVAC remains off. Check modes and visible clues, then have a technician trace the control and safety sequence.
A cooling icon can appear during a normal delay or while a control, power, drain safety, or equipment fault stops the AC. Observe each section before replacing a thermostat.
A thermostat and room thermometer can disagree because of location, sensor settings, timing, or a true control problem. Compare them safely before replacing equipment.
