I had a Lenox G61MPV gas furnace installed a month ago along with a
White Rogers 1F80-361 programmable thermostat. At night, I turn the
thermostat down to 58 degrees. In the morning I turn it up to 66.

Throughout the day, the thermostat works well, keeping the room
temperature within about 1 degree of the thermostat setting. But
first thing in the morning, when the furnace has to raise the room
temperature from 58 to 66 degrees, it overshoots the mark by almost 5
degrees before the furnace shuts off. I've tried two different
thermostats and both of them do the same thing. Adjusting the
Temperature Display Adjustment up a few degrees, helps some, but the
room temperature gets too low before the furnace comes on when I do
this. It seems to me that the temperature sensor inside the
thermostat is too slow to adjust to the actual room temperature, so
the furnace stays on too long when it has make up more than 1-2
degrees. My furnace installer just keeps telling me to try another
thermostat, that the problem isn't the furnace. Anyone have any
ideas?

thanks,
Craig
