I guess deep down I want the heat more in the winter than I want the
cool in the summer. The desire for warmth may be more instinctive than
the desire to be cool, since I'm sure more people have died from cold
than from heat.


Many furnace have three speed fan motors. Cold air


Mine does. The color code showed that it was attached to the lowest
speed.wire, but just in case the color code was wrong, I connected it in
turn to the two other colors. The diagram was right and I had to put it

is heavier, so the furnace needs to use a higher
speed for AC, to push the cold air up. It is very
possible the AC is actually louder, due to the
higher fan speed.


Only one speed, same for heat and cooling.
