If the temperature seems to be cycling on and off too often or allowing the temperatures to vary too dramatically before turning on or off, the thermostat differential control should probably be adjusted. If this is beyond your abilities, it's easiest and cheapest to replace the thermostat (rather than to call a service person). Detailed instructions are usually included with a thermostat.
