A method for providing a low fire mode and a high fire mode of a heating cycle in a current cycle of a furnace as a function of the previous heating cycle wherein the current heating cycle is a function exclusively of time run in low fire mode and time run in high fire mode of the previous heating cycle, comprising the steps of: (1) determining the existence of a heating load to be satisfied; (2) running burners in low fire mode for a first time interval that does not exceed a predetermined limit, Ldes; (3) running the burners in high fire mode for a second time interval until the heating load is satisfied; (4) calculating a BtU load requirement, as a function of the first time interval and the second time interval; and (5) determining the desired low fire mode time limit, Ldes, for the next cycle from the calculated BtU load requirement.
