It has about roughly 80-85 degrees Fahrenheit where I live for the past few weeks. When I come home my fiance has the thermostat set for Heat with a range from 65-80, but if I turn the heat off it says the house is 80 degrees inside.
We have two animals who I know are very uncomfortable and I tell him that having Heat on from 65-80 is crazy. I say it needs to be set at Cool and if he wants a range then set it for Cool 65-80 (but I normally just set it to 72 anyway). He said since it’s a wide range of temperatures, even on the Heat setting, that it’s ok and it’s not as hot as I think it is.
How do I explain the difference properly? He thinks since the range is 65-80 that it would be the same be it Hot or Cool. If it matters, we live in a town home.

When thermostat is set to heat and a certain temp, it will kick on and warm the house up to that temp when it drops below. If the temp in the house is above the temp, it’ll do nothing.
Conversely, if you set it to cool and an a certain temp, it’ll kick on the AC when the temp is above the set temp and cool until temps drop down to that level. If the house is below the set temp, then nothing happens.
