yes,
sWill the actual cost of energy be less with #2? Wear and tear on the furnace,etc would be a separate issue.

An old mercury thermostat had to be set to allow a little temperature drift to prevent short cycling. An electronic thermostat can be programmed with a timer as well to prevent short cycling, so it can keep tighter temperature control (that is, if it is in "cool" mode, and the temperature rises quickly after the A/C shuts off, a mercury stat will wait until the temp. rises 3 degrees or so to kick back on. The electronic will kick on as soon as the temp rises past its threshold - probably less than a degree - but will not actually turn the A/C on if not enough time has elapsed since the A/C shut off. It'll wait 2-3 minutes to let the compressor unload and then let it start.

The model # is 1E56W309 and I could not find a manual at White-Rogers site or anywhere else. On the inside of the cover their is a plastic screw that seems to be attached to the thermometer. Is that for adjusting?

Got it! Thanks.
Before I got the manual, I adjusted the screw on the back of the thermometer to align the current temp with a digital thermometer. I then set the required temp to about 72 degrees (f). The a/c is cutting out at about 80-81. The a/c is still cutting out
