Looking for a more sensitive thermostat

Nov 25, 2011 42 Replies

Exactly what I've been questioning all along. We don't even know what the objectionable temp swing is. Any decent thermostat that is properly installed will control the temp at the thermostat to 1.5 deg or so. And if that is objectionable at the thermostat, then what about the rest of the house, where the temp swings are almost always greater? In fact, with short cycleing, which is what he appears to want, the temp fluctuations in the rest of the house might be worse.

If the room temp is changing that fast, s ounds like the op needs to add more insulation.

We don't even know

Nor do we know anything about the humidity and its variations, which can have a large effect on how warm or cool it _feels_.
