How many hours a day should HVAC run?

Question

Most systems have to run approximately 2-3 cycles per hour. How long does the oven or air conditioning have to run in a given cycle? Usually 10 to 15 minutes in a mild time. The closer the maximum design temperature will be in heating (0 degrees) or cooling (90 degrees) the longer the operating cycle will be.

The number of hours your HVAC runs for will depend on the season and the temperature you wish to maintain in your home. In extreme temperatures, you can expect your HVAC system to run longer than in mild temperatures. In terms of operation, your HVAC's run-time is measured in cycles. Your air conditioner should run two to three cycles every hour to maintain the temperature in your home– each cycle lasting between ten to fifteen minutes. Avoid running your HVAC system 24/7 to preserve energy and system durability.
