Yes, it does have a pilot light. And, I don't have any cooling attached. This is just a furnace.
Now, I just did a seat of the pants check of furnace cycling, because I don't have a data logger to capture the data. I did not clock the meter, as suggested by 54regcab. Didn't think to do it.
The current outside temperature is 39 f.
The thermostat set temp is 71 f.
When it drops to 70, the furnace turns on. It runs for fourteen minutes, and raises the temperature to 72 f.
It takes an hour and 25 minutes for the inside house temp to drop from 72 to 70, and then the furnace turns on again.
Is that helpful information?
