May 19, 2012 | (Sun Spots thought your question was about the manual adjustment of a thermostat, such as turning it down at night or when away, and she will address that as well. When Sun Spots showed your question to Mr. Sun Spots, he thought you were asking about something called &ldquo. An Efficiency Maine series on WMTW said money could be saved for each degree a thermostat is turned down regardless of range. the
boiler runs more efficiently over a longer period even though it runs longer to reheat more than 5 degrees. com/7cptvqg ), your individual situation and the wide variety of heating system options available mean Sun Spots cannot give you a precise answer.

i posted a question yesterday about my furnace acting weird it would kick on for about a minute and turn off for five and repeat itself i called my boyfriend grandpa and he said it sounded like a thermo cuppler? if im spelling that right ? does this sound about right for what my furnace is doing? if so are these exspensive and hard to install?
If the thermocouple is bad your furnace will not come on at all. They cost about $6. You can check to see if...the fan is running or not or if the air filter is clogged.
There is usually a limit switch that will turn off the gas if the fan doesn't come on. After it cools down the gas will come on again. The thermostat could be bad? That will cost you around $35 to $50 or more depending on the kind of thermostat you need. Hope that helps.
How can I rig a furnace thermostat in my bedroom that shuts off a blower after the room cools down?

How can I rig a furnace thermostat in my bedroom that shuts off a blower after the room cools down?
I have installed a separate blower in the second storey of our house, but unfortunately it works so well it gets to cold at night.
I have an extra thermostat, I guess I now need a 25v transformer or whatever else to make this happen. This thermostat will be completely separate from the existing thermostat as it is doing a separate task. I need the room to reach a certain temperature and stay there. Programing a timer would not want to guess how the night air will do throughout the night. A thermostat is best. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Vince
Get a 24 volt relay and a 24 volt transformer. Wire the t-stat to turn on and off the relay. Wire the fan power lead through the switching contacts on the N.O. posts on the relay. The transformer will take 110 volts down to 24 volts and power the t-stat and then power the relay. The fan will turn on and off with the t-stat. Make sure you have the right configuration on the t-stat. A heat and cool t-stat will have several contacts on it. Use the R (or RC) and Y contacts. This will turn the fan off on temperature fall. R (or RH) and W will turn the fan off on temperature rise. Hope this helps!! Good luck!
