Furnace blowing cold air on a heat call

The common causes are a fan set to ON, a dirty filter tripping the high limit so the burners stop while the blower runs, a full condensate drain on a high-efficiency furnace, or an ignition lockout. Gas valve and burner work is blocked; stop at diagnosis and refer.

Limit trips / overheating (airflow)

The limit protects the heat exchanger from overheating. The fix is almost always airflow: filter, blower, ducts. Rollout switch trips are different and must be referred.

Furnace short cycling (starts and stops quickly)

Short cycling is usually a safety opening mid-cycle (limit from low airflow, flame sensor dropping out, pressure switch opening) or a thermostat issue. Read the code and time the cycle.
