The problem I'm having is that the a/c continues running - for as much as an hour - past the past the point that the ambient temperature first matches the set temperature.
Let's say I last set the temperature at 77F and the display says the ambient is 77F; thus, the a/c is off. I now move the set temperature down to 76F. The a/c stays on until the ambient reached below 75, but I don't think that much of a swing is normal.
This Hunter 44110 thermostat has a function called Span. The manual says this: "allows you to adjust the system ON/OFF cycle rate. The default setting is 2 (the system cycles ON or OFF when the temperature is within
1 degree F above and below the set temperature).I haven't adjusted the Span to 1, mainly because for the nine months I've lived here, there was no excess run time and the temperature swing was very low.
Sounds like I need a new thermostat. Do you agree?
Thanks,
