:( What's the proper way to adjust combernation heating & air condition thermostat? ( the heat anti cipator?) I just replaced it and it do not seem to work properly. My air seems like it keeps going on even if the temp is right. Please help. It's got my electric bill sky high. ! Thank you.

You can set it at .4 with an standing pilot or .6 to .8 with an intermittent or hot surface ignition furnace. then make small adjustments till the blower turns off at the temp you have the room set for. Or if you have an amp meter take a length if wire rap 10 loops place it in series with the heating circuit take a reading with the meter divide it by 10 that's the proper setting for your furnace. The heat anticipator is only used in the heating cycle. not in the cooling cycle
