What is a Heat Anticipator?
A Heat Anticipator is really a potentiometer connected to (possibly) two resistors. You may see these resistors behind a mechanical thermostat "coil". When the heater is running, current flows and heats up the resistors, making the heater turn off a little early so that it doesn't overshoot the temp you have set. If the pot is set at it maximum resistance, the resistors heat less, it just makes sense. Check your manual on your thermostat for proper settings.
What are three kinds of switching mechanisms used in low-voltage thermostats?
Mercury Bulb, heat-anticipator and a cold-anticipator.
Our furnace is always going on but our house doesn't warm up unless we put the ther on 80 then the house warms to about 74?
If you have a mechanical thermostat, the "heat anticipator" most likely needs to be adjusted to a higher setting. If a mercury type thermostat, verify that the sub-base is level also. lc
