I just got a new furnace, and looked at the instructions
for my Honeywell programmable thermostat. I found that
the settings are different for my new furnace which is a
92% AFUE unit. The instructions tell how to set some
dip switches on the back of the unit for high efficiency
and lower efficiency furnaces. I got this set up ok
according the manual and everything seems to be working
ok.

I was wondering what the difference is between the
settings. Does any body know? It doesn't say in the
manual what the difference is. Not a big important
deal, but I was just curious.

Thanks,
Bill Gill

The dip switches control cycle timing of the heater.
Modern time heat anticipator used to shut down the system early to prevent
overheating the area.

Could you amplify that a little? I'm not sure just what
you are trying to say.

Thanks for the answer in any case.
