I got a new thermostat - a cheap Honeywell (a builder installed it). I find
the house gets too cold before the furnaces switches "on". And, the furnace
switches "off" before the house reaches the set temperature. I think I need
to adjust the anticipator. Could anyone help me?

Thanks

the anticipator creates a small amount of heat in the thermostat when
the furnace is on..

but it cannont help for your first problem,,, that sounds like the
temperature setpoint needs to be adjusted...

the anticpaitor can adjeust the amount of difference in degrees between
heat on and heat off...

but per your description, the difference is ok, its just that both are
too cold...

so first try to adjust the temperature calibration, after the turn on
is working correctly then we can talk about the anticipator to adjust
the turn off.
