Wrong again DaveDaveDave, My Lux digital super duper crapstat does not
have the incremental adjustments enjoyed on my honywell round . A
reason the Honeywell round has been around forever, reliability,and
accuracy.
I bet you recommend Lux or Hunter as you recommend Goodman. Of course,
then you have guarnteed a built in customer repair base for future
income.

'If I set the thermostat to say, 62º the furnace will come on at 66º
and shut off at 70º. Is this normal, or is it time for a new
thermostat. If time for a stat, are the programmable ones any good?'

Either the thermometer portion of the thermostat is off, or, the
bimetal portion of the thermostat is out of calibration. Usually, either
can be adjusted. If you want very accurate precise control , then opt
for a programmable electronic one ; these will provide accurate cycling
of your furnace beyond what a bimetalic thermostat can. If you want a
cheap one, go to Home DePot or Menards. If you want a better one, go to
a hvac dealer in your locale.


You are a total, and complete idiot Dave.

You dont even know simple things about the most common stat in the world,
the T87F.
I have guys that I hired that knew that the first week in tech school about
the T87F as thats the stat they start on....dead band and all.

Just curious Davey....since Home Depot for example, wants over $40 now for a
T87F, and the charge that most companies charge for a calibration
only.....is over $70....what makes more sense? A new stat or calibration?

And if he wants a decent digital stat, hell..I can get him a Robertshaw for
less.....

Can you?
