Our hunter thermostat model 44550 keeps defaulting to 68 degree set temperature when we have everything set for 74 degree F. This happens often while sleeping. Please help me control my thermostat!!

Yes there is a one degree tolerance, in fact my heater just kicked on and it is set to 67 and the inside temperature reads 67. It is also a Honeywell.

Well Brian, an air conditioner creates the same temperature drop across the evaporator at any thermostat setpoint, so there is no setting that will get it really cold really fast. If your return air is 88 degrees (in a hot house where the system has been off) the supply air temp is going to be near 68 degrees..... as the a/c runs, the air changes within the structure cause a reduction in the average return air temperature and slowly drops the return to 87, then 86 then 85 etc, etc and the corresponding supply air temp continues to drop from 68 to 67 to 66 to 65 etc etc. Eventually the supply air temp after the appropriate 'air changes' within the structure will drop to 55 degrees and possibly even lower to satisfy the average room temp at 75, 74, 73 etc. to a point.

There are SOME newer a/cs that have two speed compressors that may effect the supply air temperature drop under differing load conditions, but thats a different ball of wax.

So, if you want it cold quickly you are out of luck, just leave the t-stat set at 70 degrees and pay the electric bill when it comes in.....

Replace the thermostat

what is the model number of your tstat.

When you select the temperature on this t- stat its will say 74 degrees the it goes back to 78 because thats what the room temp is at. Hunter is a very cheap brand of t- stat and also confusing. Here is what I would try move the temp to 74 then look for a hold button select that see what happens.

check your reset button and if that does not work take off the plate and manually reset your thermostat.

The only thing I can think of other than being just old and worn out is that by design it may not be set to run but so much at a time. Has this always done this since you have had it? It may be needing calibration. One thing you can try is to set it at 2 degrees higher than you want it and then it would shut off at the temp you actually want.

Your heater might be on the Auto settings .. it will turn on and off itself once the pre set temp is reached ...

I would like some help programing the thermostat in my house. Hunter, Model 44300A
