    Air conditioning thermostats
    We just had a new gas pack put in new thermostat and all. I have it set on78 for the ac. It just keeps on getting colder and colder till the temp in the house finally reaches about 70 to 72 is it supposed to be that big a variation in the temp before it goes off?

    Wow if you just paid to have a brand new unit installed and the company will not come back there is a problem somewhere. Most digital t-stats are not adjustable. The older stats have a anticipator.
