[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My heat and AC have been on for about 15 years.  Why would you turn them off when you have a thermostat to set and control the temperature?  House drops below 65, heat starts up.  House goes about 74, air comes on.[/quote]

We have gas heat and electric a/c. You have to turn each one on/off, you can’t just set a temp and have the relevant system kick on. [/quote]

Actually we have the same and the thermostat allows you to have both cool and heat selected with set temps for both...so cool over 78 and heat over 65.[/quote]

Our thermostat has memory settings for both, but you still have to tell it when to stop using and a/c and start using heat. It doesn’t just switch back and forth minute by minute on its own. That would be weird - if it accidentally overheated the home it would just turn on the ac to compensate? That doesn’t sound right. But I’m no expert.

We basically have a few weeks each fall and a few weeks each spring where we use no heat or a/c and the rest of the time it’s one or the other. Our home is very efficient though and our bills rarely exceed $300/month for a very large home.[/quote]

Only an issue if you heat and cool to the same temp which would be unusual since you are likely dressing quite differently.  We are about 10 degrees different.[/quote]
