KeepItSimpleStupid Jan 3, 2009, 02:50 PM If it's a single stage system then it won't get any hotter any faster. There is a point of diminishing returns using a multistage system, but that point is not usually known. It might be that 4-5 deg above setpoint, the second stage kicks in immediately. wmproop Jan 3, 2009, 08:11 PM By moving...I mean adjusting the room temp in the house. If it is at 65 deg and i slam the lever fast to 85 deg will any harm be done? why would you need to slam the lever fast? is there a reason,,does it work better by doing the slam thing? hvac1000 Jan 4, 2009, 02:06 AM It is a Hunter . wmproop Jan 4, 2009, 02:57 PM OK,,,now I understand,I should have known KC13 Jan 4, 2009, 04:45 PM Sounds like one of those "Comfort Game" models, whereby you try to ring the bell at the top and be rewarded with heat. Not to mention, impress your girlfriend. omada Jan 5, 2009, 02:37 PM why would you need to slam the lever fast? is there a reason,,does it work better by doing the slam thing? when one doesn't like it cold as i had set the temp at 65 deg, my wife slammed it up to 'the end'. Ain't been the first time...sure won't be the last. I just wanted to know if this could damage anything. I didn't know this site was a subsidiary of "Click and Clack!" I enjoyed all the responses none the less hvac1000 Jan 5, 2009, 02:41 PM It is never good to give the thermostat a hard ride. Like anything else you can break the plastic levers if you are ruff enough. Put a thermostat guard on the stat and drive her nuts when she can no longer get to it.

She may lock up something that will drive him nuts too.:rolleyes: omada Jan 5, 2009, 02:48 PM thanks...I will hvac1000 Jan 5, 2009, 03:46 PM At my age it would not make a difference.
