Default Maybe another try at getting home thermostat

Just seems to me the furnace kicks on and off more then it should.


It could be that your thermostat is too close to a heat register. Closing that
register might help.


Or look behind the T-stat. A hole larger than necessary for the wire
needs to be sealed (caulk) around the wire. Heat will travel in the
wall cavity and cause a T-stat to act intermittently.
