There are two reasons to use a thermostat. One is to turn on the preheat system if the ambient temperature falls below a certain level. Our system does not include such a thermostat but it is available as an option. The other reason is to prevent overheating while the engine heater is operating. Our cylinder heaters do not have a thermostat control, but some of the oil heaters do. While the engine is running the cylinder normally runs about 300-350oF.

Often called the "watchdog of the cooling system", the thermostat is a temperature controlled valve which opens at a specific 192 or 195 degrees, etc. depending on vehicle manufacturers specifications. During engine start up, most engines incorporate a by-pass to quickly circulate coolant just through the block. As this coolant is heated to the operational temperature of the thermostat, the thermostat valve opens, allowing the coolant to circulate through the radiator. See similar questions...

Programmable thermostats automatically change the thermostat's set temperature between comfort levels and energy saving levels at specified times, according to the programs you set up. Generally, to save energy, you would set up 4 program periods for each day - 2 comfort programs and 2 energy saving programs. See similar questions...

Stock thermostats on 3rd generation cars are 195 degrees. If you want to go colder, you must change the PROM. See similar questions...

Electronic thermostats save money because of their greater accuracy. These thermostats keep the temperature within 0.15°C (0.27°F) or 0.5°C (0.9°F) of the setting, ensuring minimal temperature swings. This means there is no wasted energy from continually adjusting the thermostat's setting to offset uncomfortable temperature dips. See similar questions...

Each system uses an attractive programmable thermostat. The thermostat can be programmed to measure floor temperature, air temperature, or it can be set to be on at desired times. See similar questions...

On very hot summer days, electric demand can become so high that LIPA's electric supply could be stretched to its limits. If a generation plant has a forced outage, this can make matters worse. Limited transmission capability from outside of Long Island, restricts the amount of power we can import. On a "Critical Day", LIPA institutes a number of measures to deal with high electric demand.

Most likely, the air temperature around the thermostat is lower than the thermostat setting. If you continue to turn the thermostat down and the heater still runs, the heater may be undersized (low wattage) or the thermostat is not functioning properly. See similar questions...

Yes, it is. For best flavor, fastest drying, highest nutritional value, and overall versatility, and adjustable thermostat is a "must". For example: See similar questions...

You will save energy by turning down your thermostat at any time. Turning it down to 55 degrees or off when you sleep and when you are away from home makes the most sense because you will experience little discomfort as a result. If you really want economy with comfort, install a new electronic, automatic setback thermostat for your furnace. These thermostats are available in home centers and hardware stores. They allow you to reheat your house in anticipation of your return home. See similar questions...

Programmable thermostats allow you to have the temperature raise and lower automatically at specific times each day. They will reduce your energy bills and increase your comfort (ie. get up to a "warm" bathroom during the winter). If your family follows a fairly regular schedule, a programmable thermostat will pay for itself in a few months. [ back to top ] See similar questions...

In most cases, replacing your whole system, including both indoor and outdoor components, will result in a more efficient, longer-lasting system but will also cost a little more. See similar questions...
