I like even heat and cooling. I have an up to date thermostat that
can be set to 0.2 of a degree. The heat comes on often that way but
I waste not one BTU of heat because I run the fan 24/7. Having it
set that way with auto fan will waste some heat because the plenum
has to pre-heat before the blower comes on. Not a lot of waste but
some.



Running the fan 24/7 costs money, too.



Most electricians say the difference in the starting windings usage and
running 24/7 about balance out so why not be comfy.




I doubt "most electricians" say that, and if they do, they're wrong.
