For basic settings, and best results, set your temp. for cooling at about 75 degrees F. or at the highest possible temp. that you can and still be comfortable. The same is true for the temp. setting for heating mode except in reverse. For heating, about 68 to 70 degrees is normal or the lowest temp. possible. This will allow your A/C to run less and operate more efficiently.
I set the thermostat for 70 degrees.
i dont know =D
There is no hard and fast rule for this since all houses, systems, thermostat locations and comfort levels are different. Experiment and go with what makes everybody happy most of the time.
This is an indication of a serious control failure or the thermostat that controls the boiler has been set to high.
A programmable thermostat works fine with a heat pump. Just remember that a heat pump does not heat as fast as a furnace because of the lower BTU ratings so do not set the thermostat as far back as you normally would. Also make sure to buy a thermostat that has heat pump terminals.
Depends on the temperature I desire
most of them you cant --factory set
As low as you can live with
Any brand labeled with the Energy Star seal is an energy efficient system. There are many brands that are great choices.To heat efficiently, install a programmable thermostat, and have your equipment inspected yearly. The most inportant factor to look for is Energy Star Complaince. The government has set the standar for efficient heating ssystems,i would order from Sears.
A device for regulating furnace heat is the thermostat. A programmable thermostat can be set to control the temperature inside the home on a regular schedule. The thermostat is set to a desired temperature and then the furnace turns on and off to accomplish the desired heat level.
Typically it is more efficient (and cheaper) to use a set back thermostat. Here is the most basic reason. The rate at which heat is gained or lost by a home or building depends on the difference in temperature between the indoors and the outdoors. Setting the temperature back (higher in the summer and lower in the winter) decreases this temperature difference and thus the total amount of heat gained or lost by the building. When you raise your AC thermostat during the day when no one is home and then cool the house back down in the evening, the total amount of heat removed by the AC during this cycle is less then if you left it cool for the entire time.
68-70f is adequate for most people.
I set the thermostat for 70 degrees.

The point at which and individual's weight thermostat is supposedly set is called Set Point
Set it to 55 mph. Most cars are their most efficient at 55 mph.
personally, from experience, i set mine at 55 over the winter. if u have any pets, i would set it around 60-70...but it depends
