How setting the thermostat from Heat for 65-80 degrees is different than Cool 65-80.

233 views

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- if it goes above that, it won’t do anything, if it goes under that, it will turn on heat.

With cool- if it goes above that, it will turn the AC on, if it goes under that, it won’t do anything.
