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.
My thermostat is broken.
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.
The most efficient way to program a thermostat for central heat and air is to set a schedule that adjusts the temperature based on your daily routine. This can help save energy and keep your home comfortable.
By updating your thermostat to a programmable or smart thermostat, you can ensure your home stays comfortable and energy-efficient. These thermostats allow you to set specific temperatures for different times of the day, helping you save energy when you're not home or asleep. Additionally, smart thermostats can learn your habits and adjust settings automatically for optimal comfort and efficiency.
Setting your thermostat to "auto" is generally more energy efficient and can help maintain a comfortable temperature in your home. This setting allows the system to run only when needed, reducing energy consumption.
To turn on the thermostat in your home, locate the power switch or button on the thermostat and set it to the "on" position. Then, adjust the temperature setting to your desired level.
Depends on the temperature I desire
To install and set up a w2 wire thermostat in your home, first turn off the power to your heating and cooling system. Remove your old thermostat and label the wires. Connect the w2 wire to the corresponding terminal on the new thermostat. Mount the new thermostat on the wall and restore power. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to program and set up the thermostat for your desired temperature settings.
Setting the thermostat to "auto" is generally more energy efficient and comfortable in the home compared to setting it to "on." This is because the "auto" setting allows the system to cycle on and off as needed to maintain the desired temperature, while the "on" setting keeps the system running continuously.
most of them you cant --factory set
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.
To set the thermostat in your home to maintain a comfortable temperature, adjust the temperature setting to your desired level, typically between 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure the thermostat is set to "heat" or "cool" mode depending on the season. You can also program the thermostat to automatically adjust the temperature throughout the day for energy efficiency.
As low as you can live with
To set the temperature on your Honeywell home thermostat, locate the temperature control buttons on the device. Use the up and down arrows to adjust the temperature to your desired level. Press the "Set" or "Enter" button to confirm the new temperature setting.
