    Actually better for constant fan than cycling on the motor! Yes, it could add $20-30 to the monthly juice bill. A tech would know right where to look for the problem. Probably should have an authorized Lennox dealer to a pressure test on that relic to be sure the heat exchanger is safe.

    I remember having trouble keeping them running in the early 80's.

    I don't do air, but if they are anything like pulse boilers, if the gas doesn't shut off, it won't shut off. Just like a diesel engine. They operate on latent heat ignition.

    Is it only the fan that keeps running?

    After 6 days, the OP either solved the problem elsewhere or he "cooked" his whole house with runaway heat.

    Glad you have an accurate pulse on this one.
