A/C fan comes on with furnace heater!

2013 georgetown 368. Just put front furnace on and the ac blower fan came on also. We haven't used the front furnace too much but I'm pretty sure this has never happened before. No, I didn't have the heat strip on. Any ideas what we look at first?

Thanks

Put fan setting on the Thermostat to AUTO when running the furnace.

Just keep in mind that on cooler days with a higher humidity your windows may fog with condensation when the heat is turned on. You can always switch it back to allow the AC fan to blow cool air to clear your windows. Works the same way as an automobile AC system in the defrost mode.

I turn my A/C down to 50 degrees, heat up to 75 or more. Had that happen to me once and a friend told me what to do
