All of the venues the two of us have rented in the past had central heating and air controlled by a thermostat.
This venue is no different.
The only thing that is weird in this house is the way that the thermostat works. In past apartments you had to manually change the thermostat from heating to cooling, or vice versa. So the furnace would never turn on if the air conditioning system was on and the air conditioning system would never turn on if the furnace was on. In the house the two of us live in now you have to set the thermostat for the heating setting and the air conditioning system setting. The furnace or the air conditioning system could kick on at any time. It just depends on what temperature the house reaches. So if it’s too cold then the furnace will kick on. If it is too warm then the air conditioning system will kick on. This is great…in theory. However, in practice the two of us keep running into problems. We followed superb thermostat practices and set the heating and cooling hot and cold temperatures more than 2 degrees different. And yet, our furnace and air conditioning system are constantly competing. The furnace turns on and then the furnace runs on. Then the air conditioning system turns on again. It is a terrible cycle and the two of us can only break it by turning off the Heating, Ventilation and A/C proposal entirely. I hope that an Heating, Ventilation and A/C corporation might be able to help us make this stop. They are coming out on Saturday. I assume the issue could be fixed if the two of us got a new thermostat that only worked as air conditioning system or heating at a single time; Not air conditioning system and heating.
