If the HVAC thermostat in your home is switched to heat and the temperature is set to 68 and the fan is set to on will the heat run the entire time the fan is on possibly heating the house past 68?

If everything is working right, it won't. The fan will just circulate the air and the heat will just come on when the temperature is below the setpoint.

What temperature is your central heating thermostat set at?
72
Why would one need an underfloor heating thermostat?
An underfloor heating thermostat enables one to reach the perfect temperature in the house. It is also perfect for enabling the heating to turn on when the room temperature reaches low numbers.
How is the gas thermostat different from the thermostat in iron?
A thermostat on the wall measures air temperature to control a gas or electric heating (or air conditioning) system.A thermostat in a clothes iron measures the temperature of the metal ironing plate to control the electrical heating element in the clothes iron.
What does the thermostat in your house do?
The thermostat tries to control the heating and cooling in you home to maintain a comfortable or energy efficient temperature.
What should the temperature be coming out of the heating vent in my house?
The answer depends on the thermostat setting as well as the kind of heating system that you have.
What a thermostat does?
A thermostat in general, is an assembly that measures temperature (if it measures room temperature then we are talking about a room thermostat) and trips an electrical contact on and off comparing measured temperature to a temperature setpoint (the temperature setting we set on the thermostat by means of a rotating knob or a digital screen and buttons. In an hvac system, we install a thermostat inside the room in which we want to control temperature and we set the desired temperature. If current temperature is below setpoint, then the contact trips, and the heating system heats the room. When measured temperature reaches the desired setpoint, thermostat trips off and the heating system will stop giving energy to the room. By starting and stoping the heating system, we achieve to set room temperature within some limits.
Is radiant floor heating controlled with a thermostat ?
Yes, radiant floor heating is controlled by a thermostat. This is important as it makes sure the temperature never gets higher than you want it and that when it gets cold the heating goes on automatically.
How do heating and cooling thermostats differ?
A cooling thermostat only will be normally open, closing on the rise of temperature. A Heat only thermostat will be a normally open, close on the fall of temperature.
How do you turn down the temperature on a hot water heating system?
By locating the thermostat and turning it down
Is it handy to buy all in one heating and cooling systems?
There are two thermometers in this kind of thermostat. The one in the cover displays the temperature. The other, in the top layer of the thermostat, controls the heating and cooling systems.
Would a thermostat set for a higher temperature keep the heater from blowing hot air?
No. The thermostat controls the flow of water through the radiator, not the heating core. Using a thermostat with a higher temperature rating delay the opening of the thermostat (and the flow of water to the radiator) until that higher temperature is reached. This will cause the coolant to run hotter.
What The purpose of a thermostat is?
Thermostats are used to keep a constant. They maintain the 'ideal' conditions For example: - if you set your heating to come on at 20deg the thermostat will turn the heating on if the temp falls below your ideal 20 degree temperature. Once it has reached the ideal it will turn the heating off again.
