its not the most intuitive setup thats for sure, but look in the manual, it should tell you how to get to the setup menu, then you scroll through till you get to the c/f option (the manual will tell you, all the options were numbered on mine but no words, mine was 14 or 15 I cant remember) then toggle that option

Not too sure which model thermostat you have but the one I have, displays C or F depending on how you wire it up in the back.

Can you take a picture of the thermostat, it would be easier for us to confirm the steps for you.

yea... the manual will tell you how to get to the setup menu... I belive you have to scroll to 21, then then change it from 0 to 1

Ah ok, I guess your homes are a bit more high-tech then ours were back in Phase 2!

I'm sure someone else on here will be able to assist if they haven't already.

On this topic, I live in phase one in HVE, and my thermostat is weird...if the house is at 21 and I set it to 22 on the thermostat, the furnace does not go on until I put it 2 degrees above what the thermostat reads as the temperature. This happens no matter what the temperature ,which really annoys me because I find 22 really comfortable but 23 too warm. Is this normal or should I be calling Mattamy?

I read Ace__05's reply, but I have to be honest in that it still sounds lke csb101's thermostat is acting weird, or at least differently than mine does.

If our thermostat says internal temp of the house is 21 (at the point where the thermostat is) and I've set the thermostat to 22, the furnace goes on right away.

So I guess my thermostat is more of the "bang-bang" type while csb101's is a more efficient possibly using "fuzzy-logic" (to quote Ace__05's post).

Ace, I'm being serious and I do know how to use a thermostat. My thermostat in my old Mattamy home did exactly what Rick's does. My new one is like the situation I just described. I can see some logic if it is an efficiency type thing and I usually wouldn't mind because I like cooler rather than warmer. However, I have a wife that likes it warmer and a 3 yr old who's room tends to stay on the cooler side if furnace is not going. Perhaps I'll give mattamy a call and see what they say.

I understand what you are explaining, but would like more information if you don't mind.

In our case, our master bedroom above the garage gets very cold during the winter months, and very warm in the summer months. AC doesn;t cool it down efficiently, and the furnace doesn't warm it up efficiently either.
Our thermostat is near the front door on the main floor.

We set the temp to 23 during the day, and 22 at night, yet our master bedroom still goes down to 18.5 like it has the past few nights.

If the house was more balanced, I would lower the night time setting but therein lies our problem.

Thanks,

All thermostats allow some variation of the temperature from what you set it at before it will turn on. Typically this is 1-2 C, meaning that a thermostat set to 22C will not turn on until the temperature drops to 20 or 21C. Many thermostats allow you to configure the variance – you would have to refer to your manual.

J&L – if your bedroom is above the garage, and you find the temperature swings like that, I guarantee that you are lacking insulation in the ceiling of the garage, or the attic, or both. I’d recommend you have a look in the attic, and possibly drop the ceiling in the garage to check for insulation. It would not be that expensive to have the ceiling re-dry walled. If you home is still under warranty, then get Mattamy to do it.

The other thing I recommend is a thermostat that allows you to program the furnace fan independently of the heat. You will not find these in-store, but are easily ordered online or through a professional. I got this one for about $100 online, and HIGHLY recommend it. You can configure it to run the fan on circulate mode, which means that the fan runs for 5 minutes every 15 minutes, circulating the air in the house even if heat isn’t required. It will eliminate those hot/cold zones in the house, and makes the whole home more comfortable. In the summer, my upstairs is the same temp as downstairs, and vice versa in the winter.
