Yes. Unless of course, the system is zoned, or you have a remote sensor that
will over-ride the thermostat.
If its zoned, you will prob have remotes anyway..or should....but most of
the time, the thermostat is located near a return, and NOT in the kitchen,
or bathroom.

Since the subject has come up, I'd like to piggy-back on this for a
minute. In addressing some of my A/C problems incident to a
replacement of 30 y.o. system, part of the plan is to install a second
return, then zone the hot end of the house and add a 2nd (maybe
portable) thermostat. While I'm getting 10 year parts and labor on
the sytem, per se, the warranty on the whatever it is that goes in the
vents to close them off, etc. is 3 years. Makes me think that maybe
that state-of-the-art isn't quite ready for prime time use. Any
thoughts.
My current thought is to let them install the 2nd return as part of
the system reinstall, which includes re-wrapping all the existing
sheet metal vents but then wait a year and see how the new system
works without the zoning. Yes, I know it will cost more to have them
come back and do it.
If it makes a difference, the new system will porobably be a heat pump
vice straight A/C so that I have a back-up heating sytem to the
hot-water baseboard.
Any thoughts from all you experts. You sure have helped me a lot in
the past.
TIA
