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.

With heat, the furnace will turn on and heat the house if the temperature gets below 65. With cool, the air conditioner will turn on if the temperature goes above 80.
