As an option, it states that I can reduce the cycles or shut them off completely. If they are shut off, the themostat will operate in turning on the heat when the room temperture gets to one degree below the set themostat temperature and run until it gets to one degree above the setting.
My question is if I want to have an economical and efficient heating system:
Should I leave the Factory settings of 5-6 cycles or reduce it or shut it off completely?
Please help.
