Thermostat issues - heat won't turn off
I have had a Honeywell FocusPro TH5000 installed professionally for about 3 months. It was working fine until 2 nights ago. It is set on 68. When it gets below that & the heat turns on, it will continue to run long after it has reached the 68 temp (hours, even all day). I have to bump it down to 67 to get it to stop. I have looked in the manual & online but didn't see much.
I have a Tempstar heat pump. Any suggestions? |

You need to adjust the anticipator. On analog t-stats the anticipator is an adjustable arm that rides on a coil of thin wire to adjust the resistance. It's right in front of you when you remove the cover to t-stat. The anticipator provides a small amount of "false" heat to make the t-stat cycle off in heat (In cooling another anticipator is a high value resistor.) to keep it from staying on after the temperature has been reached in heat, or to bring it on in cool mode. If you have a manual t-stat move the arm clockwise until it cycles like you want it. One thing you need to look at is where the t-stat is located. If mounted on an exterior wall it will never cycle right, for example. Has anything changed lately to change airflow around t-stat? If you have a digital t-stat the way to set the anticipator is in the instructions, or it's automatic, as most digitals are.

Hi, I have a programmable thermostat that is set at 68 at night. Lately it has not been kicking off and the heat continues to run up to around 78 or so. This only seems to happen overnight. This started last spring, and now that I'm using the furnace again - it's doing it again. And it didn't...
We recently replaced an old thermostat with a programmable thermostat, and now the heat won't kick on. My husband said he switched the wires directly over, and the AC works fine. But when we switch to heat we can hear the unit turn on, but the fan doesn't turn on or blow out anything. This is a...
