“On” vs. “Auto”
Customers sometimes confuse leaving their heating system switched on with leaving their system on auto. When your system is on auto, your furnace turns on and heats your home whenever it falls below a predetermined temperature. In contrast, leaving your furnace on means your furnace fan will run continuously until you decide to turn it off. Both settings have pros and cons.
Wear and Tear on Your Heating System
Though it may seem contrary to conventional wisdom, running your heating system continuously results in less wear and tear on your furnace. Switching your furnace off and on places wear and tear on its parts. Therefore, leaving your system on auto may cause a mechanical breakdown to happen more quickly because the auto setting allows your furnace to make constant adjustments.

Better Air Quality
Running your furnace continuously improves your indoor air quality. Your furnace fan circulates air throughout your home. In addition to creating a more consistent temperature throughout, the constant circulation of air can make the inside of your home feel fresher overall and combat a stuffy, stagnant atmosphere.
