A gas furnace has an electronic control board. How is the fan cycled during heating?

  1. based on a pressure switch

  2. time

  3. temperature

  4. voltage

The correct answer is: time

The fan is typically cycled by a time function. This is because the fan needs time to blow warm air through the ducts and into the living space. Options A, C, and D are all incorrect because they do not accurately describe how the fan is cycled during heating. A pressure switch is used to monitor air pressure, temperature typically controls the thermostat, and voltage measures the electrical potential difference.
