How Do You Set A Heat Anticipator On A Honeywell Thermostat?
If you run a gas burning or an oil burning furnace and it turns on and off too quickly, or if you notice major differences in your room temperature before the furnace kicks on, you may need to make a heat anticipator adjustment. The heat anticipator monitors the temperature of the room and notifies the furnace to turn on or off as needed to maintain the desired temperature. If adjusting the Honeywell heat anticipator doesn’t solve the problem, you may need to replace your thermostat. Use a level to make sure your Honeywell thermostat is level to the wall. An unlevel thermostat can’t properly measure temperature because the heat anticipator won’t read correctly. If your thermostat isn’t level, adjust it as needed so it sits level on the wall. Remove the cover of your thermostat. Find the heat anticipator, located in the middle of your thermostat. It has numbers ranging from 1.5 to 0.1. Look for the word “Longer,” and you’ll find the heat anticipator adjustment. Move the heat anticipator
