Since last year in My new home I could not get my heater to work and thanks to you making this video and me coming across it my home is warm with financial problems I could not afford someone to come look at it so thank you so much for posting this video

Thank you for helping me out😊

Need help, ac set to 50 but showing 80, ive called the repairman and he said its fine, what should i do?

Okay...so the first one you showed is exactly what I have in my RV which is my current home. This is brand new...maybe 6-8 months old. Out of nowhere for the last 24hrs the heater was turning on and staying on even though I had it set to the third line. That usually has it turn on for about 5min, which is more than enough time to heat up such a small space. I turned the little dial all the way off but it just kept on going pumping out heat. I finally went out and turned off the gas because I was being roasted alive. After watching your videos I opened the thermostat cover and the little dial arrow was pointing to 1.2. I’m hoping I’ve understood correctly as I’ve moved the arrow clockwise so that it’s now pointing to .6. I’ll see if this helps to shorten how long the heater turns on for! Hoping you still check this as it’s an 8 year old video but it looks like you did respond to someone about 11 months ago. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us!! I’m an absolute dummy when it comes to this type of thing so I’ll take any help I can get!🤗

My gas heater when kicks on makes a loud BOOM and blows the Pilot light out what is causing that and why??

I have an old Honeywell mercury switch and a new Tempstar furnace. I'd like to replace the thermostat with a digital one, but really I'd like to have it be more accurate...it's off about 4 degrees at least with a digital AND a red outdoor thermometer that I used to check. Can I just move it a little up or down to make it more accurate?

this is an old video so I dont know if u will see this.. but I am trying to fix my air unit.. i bought a new thermostat, its a honeywell ct-30 and there is one of those dials to change.. in my manaul it says "electric furnace any type" to set it to .3 but this is for an AIR UNIT.. it runs.. but it runs and runs and nver turns off.. if I raise the temp up high enough for it to stop.. it stops.. but if i go to turn it back on it kicks the breaker outside on the pole.. so do I have it adjusted wrong? the old one that was on there was a really old and didnt have numbers... or it wasnt set to a number.. i dont have a guage or anything to read the voltage.. so what do I do?

I've been having an issue with my thermostat..wondering if i can get some help. my a/c is set to auto 75. it says its 72 in my home but the a/c wont shut off. runs all day. a/c is cool, gets colder the longer it runs but yet it wont shut off unless i move the temp set to almost 80. its 90+ degrees in Houston, cant have my a/c at 80. what could be the problem? Thanks for your help....

Thanks good video

hello. it's a year later and I fixed many problems with the Rinnai combo boiler that was programmed incorrectly by the plumbers. They had the heat water temperature set to 120°f. with Rinnai techs helping me, I reprogrammed it 180. what I would like to know is how do you read the amp draw and where? I have a laser temperature meter and have been reading the temperature of the anticipator when the contacts are made. Without completely understanding, I'm assuming that the higher temperature it gets, it will it will shut off the thermostat quicker. Does that sound reasonable? My house doesn't produce enough heat because there isn't enough baseboard on the first floor and there is a very long run in the cold cellar before it makes it upstairs. I am in no danger of overheating the room. I set the amp gauge at 1.2 which reads close to room temperature. I don't want it shutting off too soon thinking the room will get to hot after the thermostat is satisfied. Any ideas would help. Thanks

How do you find the amp draw from the Circuit broad to figure the amp?

our heat only comes on if we turn our thermostat to 80, can you tell me why?

I thought maybe adjusting this thing would fix my problem.. maybe not. Boiler zone valve at basement is constantly calling for heat even though the thermostat is off. What is likely wrong.. the little Honeywell disc valve motor? If it's always getting 24 volts it's either the boiler's board or the thermostat, and if it's getting no volts then it must be the valve motor; right? I have had to shut the valves off past the zone valve to get the heat to stop but the damned zone is still calling for it. Calling a boilerman isn't an option so I need to figure this out on my own. Will any other issues be had by doing what I've done? If the water can't go anywhere but a foot past the zone valve where a second valve is shut off, it shouldn't affect anything; right?

Need Help. I have a Lux T101141 thermostat. I have called our apartment maintenance several times already, but each time he got the fireplace to come on, once it goes off, it'll never come back on again, therefore I had to submit another maintenance request. Every time he comes up here to fix it, he mess around with the anticipator to get it working again. But once the temp reached the desired temp, it'll turn off. Once it turns off, it will never come back on, not even if the temp register 60 degrees. It's getting pretty annoying especially if he thinks I'm the one who is doing something to it

My thermostat is just like the first one in the video and it won’t heat beyond 70. Please advise!! My dial also doesn’t have the little arrow it only has the handle part installed. The arrow is simply missing so this makes things very confusing.

How long will only the gas burner will run and how long will it take to turn back on that heat anticipator if is it set on 4 or .4

I need help my heat won’t turn off it just stays on all day and it won’t go off

I have a 5 year old taco non digital thermostat. when I move the lever to raise the heat above room temperature, it doesn't click but will turn on circulator. I took off the cover and saw a movable gear and arm with numbers on the disc. I don't know what to set the number to. I don't know the required voltage. can you help? the same one upstairs clicks with changes. Thanks

Question sir my heater keeps turning at night randomly and we are having to fight it to get it to turn back on any advice

Ok so my unit froze up twice. My thermostat is set to 75 but the ac is set to auto and keeps running to 68 and still doesnt cut off.. Why?

Not quite understanding this. When it gets to the temperature set. Why won't it turn off? It just runs an runs. My anticipator is set in between .6 .8 plz help?

Do I need to adjust this to make my AC cool it's not blowing cold

exactly... what are you's saying... question is do calibrate the actual amperage stamped on the gas valve to the anticipator?!!

I was told this was also called a "dead band" setting.Tungsten wire. Our heat didnt come on the other day and the tech found the wire broken. He moved the slider to make contact and send a signal Now it doesn't run constant but I was told that these settings were for ,like if a cold wind or gust it would not cycle your heat. .

0:28 what would happen if someone for got to install that clear plastic cover from the conector/switch?

Do you know how to adjust the anticipator on a Emerson 1a10-651? I can’t find instructions anywhere. It’s stuck on 58 and doesn’t move. I live in an apartment and the maintenance ppl are worthless so I need to fix it myself

How do we find out what the control circuit draw is? Where is this information stated?

What would cause the anticipator wire to melt/pop?

What if you dont have an old thermostat with the mercury?

my thermostat is stuck on 70. how do i reset? old white rodgers

I put the heat 70 but the temperature in the apartment more than 90! I put it 50 also the heat still 90 what I have to do ?!

a/c is at 65 but the house is 75 what should I do

Well this mess with the coolness of my air conditioner because my AC is running but it's not cool

How do i set it on cool

How can I turn the thermostat off?

Remember one of these 🦕 ??

We are novices, and being as such we do not know what our control circuits draw. we do not understand the effects of the different length of anticipater wire pretend you're taking to complete idiots and give it to us in English ....I listend to it a couple times and yeah didn't get it ...shame on me I recon eh...

This makes very little sense to me. I have a Honeywell thermostat t822d 1008 and I don't understand what you're saying here. Turning that dial adjust the wire length? Your were talking about amperage. This is just confusing.

Sorry, this doesn't really tell me anything except you are showing off your technical jargon. You never say what the adjustment ACTUALLY does to the furnace, how to adjust for real results, and how this affects the heat output, duration, or comfort level. additionally, I don't believe for one minute the electrical feed wire raises the coil temperature - that is done by the atmosphere of the room.

You are trying to impress with technical knowledge while totally not getting whey people to come to a page called "adjusting a thermostat". what do you think we are here for? a lesson in circuits and switches and how much current goes through a wire? I didn't come to find out how it works, i came to find out how to adjust it. the temp in my place swings too far from too hot to too cold. which way do I move the indicator to narrow the temperature spread? when it licks off i want it to kick back on when the temp goes down something less than 2 degrees. is there any reason not to have it set so it keeps a steady temperature. my thermostat looks exactly like the one in the first part of your video

Never defines 'anticipator'. (When teaching something/anything, your students need to know the meaning and implications of the terms you use.) Apparently, the anticipator is a matter on the heater and not the air-conditioning side of the thermostat/system...but this, too, is so poorly explained that I'm not sure (and I know I'm not so unique that I'm the only one confounded by this). Better we all try another tutorial.
