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.

My Ford Taurus heater takes forever to get warm - I replaced the thermostat?

Thermostat come in different temperature ratings - meaning the valve opens at a specific temperature.Likely your new one is a higher temp (192?), thereby keeping the coolant from getting to the heater core until that higher temperature is achieved.Not sure what the specific numbers are, but you might want to swap it again for something lower (180 degrees?).


How do you raise your room temperature?

You can raise the room temperature by adjusting your thermostat to a higher setting, using a space heater, sealing any drafts or leaks, and ensuring your windows are closed properly. Additionally, adding rugs, curtains, and blankets can help retain heat in the room.

Is it possible for the room temperature to be higher than the thermostat setting?

Yes, it is possible for the room temperature to be higher than the thermostat setting if there is a heat source in the room that is generating more heat than the thermostat is set to regulate.


How does a thermostat control the temperature of an air conditioner?

A thermostat controls the temperature of an air conditioner by sensing the current temperature in a room and comparing it to the desired temperature set by the user. When the room temperature is higher than the desired temperature, the thermostat signals the air conditioner to turn on and cool the room. Once the room reaches the desired temperature, the thermostat signals the air conditioner to turn off.

How do you replace the summer thermostat to a winter thermostat in a 96 Dodge Caravan 3.0 liter?

You don't. The proper thermostat is 195 degrees. The only reason to change the thermostat is because the one in it went bad. If you use a lower temperature thermostat, or none, the heater won't get warm, and in the summer, you can overheat. If you find a higher temperature one and install it, it is possible the engine will heat up as much as 1 minute faster, but the engine may run hotter as well, making it less efficient and possibly decreasing its lifespan.


Is there any advantage going to a lower thermostat on a vehicle?

yes if you live in a cold area it could help, example, a 160 degree thermostat will open before a 180 degree thermostat, thus letting the warm coolant from the block to circulate thru the radiator and heater core, thus giving you warm air for your heater faster than a higher rated thermostat

How do I know when I need to replace the thermostat on my car?

if your car starts to overheat you might check the thermostat first. When your computer starts saying the engine temp is 5-10 degress higher than it always was. When your heater doesn't blow warm air and you are not low on water. also if your heater quits -check your water first.


Is it more economical to set the thermostat to a constant temperature or adjust in morning and at night?

Depending on your temperature setting, usually the best is about 70 degrees, it's best to set the thermostat, and leave it at a constant setting. Resetting your thermostat to higher temperatures requires the furnace work harder, and will usually increase your utility bill.


What is the significance of "RH" on a thermostat and how does it affect the temperature control in a room?

The "RH" on a thermostat stands for relative humidity, which measures the amount of moisture in the air. This affects temperature control in a room because higher humidity levels can make a room feel warmer, even if the temperature setting on the thermostat is the same. Conversely, lower humidity levels can make a room feel cooler. Monitoring and adjusting the relative humidity on a thermostat can help maintain a comfortable and consistent temperature in a room.
