Why anyone would fool around with an old mechanical thermost which when
set for 62 gives a temp that varies from 66 to 70 or pay someone $30 to
come look at it is beyond me. For a little more you can buy a nice
accurate and programmable digital one that's very simple to install.

Because the T87F will be working long after the digital has fried itself.
Read the replies, and also, a digital that is supposed to be accurate to 1F,
will also have a dead band in it, and will also have to have the
anticipation set in many cases, or will perform worse than the T87...thats
why.

I don't understand why OP cares, anyway. You set the thermostat
(during the heating season) to the lowest value that you're
comfortable in. Who gives a shit what that temperature is labled, on
the dial?

That was last fall, the 30 bucks was for the service of checking out the
furnace to make sure it was ok as I had just moved in. That was in reference
to the furnace not the thermostat. That should have been clear from the
post.
