It actually sounds like you may have answered the question yourself. If the mercury isn't breaking contact, then obviously it's still calling for more heat. This is a common problem with the old mercury thermostats and are usually replaced with digital ones that are way more accurate. The are fairly cheap at Wal-Mart and such, and replacing one is basically all color coded.

Model sf35f furnace wont quit heating after reaching thermostat setting

Sounds like the heat anticipator in your thermostat is either bad or out of adjustment. Turn of the furnace power. Remove the thermostat wires from the thermostat. Turn the power back on. Connect the white and red wires together. The furnace should start up. Let it run a couple of minutes. Then disconnect the wires. The burners should shut off immediately. The blower will continue to run for 60 to 360 seconds then shut off. If this happens replace your thermostat. If the burners continue to burn, then your problem is either the furnace or the thermostat wires.

Can't get the gas furnace to heat.

All York/JCI thermostats made by Venstar

The setup is probably incomplete. Did you configure the thermostat for a 2 stage heat pump? The heat pump should have a thermostat wire connected to R, C, Y1, Y2, and O, that makes 5 wires. I suspect you are only using first stage compression and or first stage blower speed.

WEATHER KING GAS FURNACE . BLOWER MOTOR COMES ON INSTANTLY ON CALL FOR HEAT AND WONT SPARK IGNITE.

You have a high temp safety open. The control board sends a signal through all safeties first. And if there is a safety open, the board believes the unit is overheating, so it engages the blower to cool it down. The safeties are normally on the blower assembly, near the burners, and near the heat exchanger. Hope this helps!

Furnace runs too much thermastat is on 78 but temp only goes to 70. funace keeps going off and on

It sounds as if the furnace is working properly. The thermostat is not calibrated.
It is cold here and my heat runs a lot. If you can live with the numbers being off then don't worry about it.

Carrier Furnace infinity 96.model 58MVP060-F-18114. Furnace heats

Sounds like it could be your fan limit switch. Part costs about 20 bucks and is fairly simple to replace. This limit switch is a safety that prevents your furnace from over heating. Usually when your t/s is satisfied the blower runs for a little longer after the burners have stopped, and the reason for that is the limit switch. The blower is supposed to cool this limit switch to a certain temp. and once it reaches this temp it shuts the blower off. Yours is stuck:(

I have a comfort zone furnace. If it's 50 degrees in the house, and i set my thermostat to 70 or so,it takes at least 24 hours to reach 70 degrees. The furnace starts up and runs normally for about five...

When the thermostat calls for heat it should run until the room reaches the temperature setting then shut off. Is the blower motor running and can you feel air coming out of the vents? It sounds like the blower is either not running or putting out enough air to keep the furnace heating. The blower moves the heat from the heat exchanger to the room, if it can't remove enough heat from the heat exchanger there is a limit switch that will shut the burner off if it gets to hot and that's what it sounds like is happening.
