My in-laws called the repair guy one winter after they moved their TV to
right under their stat. They couldn't figure out why they always got so
cold when they were watching TV. The guy poke around the furnace a while
then when to check the stat and immediately saw the problem. TV on = lots
of heat so room must be warm enough! Had it been summer, they would have
had the same problem: TV on = lots of heat so room MUST need more AC!

So if the control thingy is located in let's say the kitchen, and you
turn your AC to run auto at 70 degrees, and the kitchen is 80 degrees
while all the other rooms are 65 degrees, the AC will keep running
anyways?

Main reason you never install a thermostat in a room with alot of heat or
humidity,the unit will run more then it has to cause it thinks the whole
house
is as hot as that one room when it isnt.Also most acs should be set at 78
or 80
degrees to save money and electricity.In winter furnaces 68 to 70
