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.

The heat setting is designed to stop the temperature from dropping below the set temperature. For example if you have the heat set to 78 degrees and the room temperature is 65, the unit will run until the room temperature is 78, if the room temperature is 100 the unit will not run because the room is above 78. It is the same thing for cooling just the other way around.
