help furnace/ac problem
hey everyone
im about to go to my cousins house, because he called me and told me about a problem he is having
ive never heard of it before maybe some of you have
His furnace blower will not shut off, and his air conditioner keeps turning on, while his stat is set to heat
any ideas on where to start? maybe its posible that the stat wire was shorted or something from a screw?
thanks

im just looking for some information, like maybe it is something that i have never thought of? i dont know, i just thought i would ask for help
but if i dont get any then i understand
thanks

It could be a number of things. You're probably not gonna get much help on here. Homeowners can read the posts. My advice is to have him call out somebody or you call somebody from where you work at to fix the problem. If you don't know or are unsure of what you're doing, you could cost your cousin more money than he would have spent in the first place calling somebody qualified out to fix it.
I like DIY'ers. They pay better to fix.

is there any tips at all that i could have? like the most possible thing that i thought of was that the stat wire could have been hit by a screw, because i know he had someone come in and drywall his whole basement during his reno's
is that a possibility?

if thats the case... it sure is a great possibility...
start checking there with a meter.

i guess that really was the main question i was asking, whether or not that was a possibility, sorry if i phrased it wrong, i think i kind of wrote it like i wanted you to do the service call
thanks

With control systems, anything is possible if the electrons make their way to the right place. Condensor units don't start on their own.
Get out the wiring diagrams and volt meter and start with basic trouble shooting.
Good luck!

Maybe, its a dual fuel system.
And its a more series problem.
