Thermostats
The main control (or interface) between you and your WaterFurnace unit is the thermostat. Electronic thermostats are
widely used in today’s heating and cooling systems, replacing old electro-mechanical models containing mercury.
In addition to providing more precise temperature control, electronic thermostats can also include many more features
and options, along with a more aesthetically-pleasing look. Although these thermostats are significantly more high tech,
you’ll find that they are easy to operate.
Note: Most thermostats have an automatic minimum temperature
separation (in degrees) from the heating setpoint to the cooling
setpoint. This is necessary so the unit cannot continuously switch back
and forth between heating and cooling when the thermostat is set in
the automatic changeover mode. This separation is called the “dead
band” and is usually 2 degrees F. For example, if you place your cooling
setpoint at 72, your heating setpoint cannot be higher than 70. If you
would then increase your heating setpoint from 70 to 72, your cooling
setpoint would automatically increase by that same 2 degrees to 74.
Your electronic thermostat is designed to provide precise comfort.
To get the best comfort from your system it is recommended that you
resist the temptation to frequently adjust the thermostat. Simply find
a comfortable setting for heating and cooling and let the system do
the rest. It will provide you with many years of energy savings without
sacrificing comfort. Most homeowners prefer setpoints in heating from
70 to 72 and from 73 to 75 during cooling.
