My thinking is that when the furnace is set low and I am using my woodburning appliance I would be able to set the fan to ON in the evening to help circulate heat and off except when the furnace kicked in at other times. But I guess by your response that you have not seen that feature.
Thank you I was just curious.

The thermostat I just installed does what you seek. You can set the fan to “Circulate” on any (or none) of the programmed time periods and it will run 20 minutes of each hour even if there is no demand for heat or cool. It is a Honeywell. This one (8110U for $95):

Get her a boyfriend…

-- Mike

Preferably one with a job so he can pay for the heat!

Preferably one with a house so she can move the hell out…

Remember, the conversation should go something like this… “Okay honey, you’re 27 now… time to get married and move out, or just be done with it and come out of the closet.” (Or if you live in Northampton, both.) tongue rolleye

-- Mike

..DOOOHHH! And what would the folks out there in ‘Happy Valley’(Northampton) have to say to that one!!! wink

BOOM BOOM BOOM (Oought Oh...Who do we know that lives out in ‘that neck of the woods’)lol wink

This one might go beyond a ‘Bipolar Moment’....

Kinda funny (as a side note though)… Tonight at the gas station… the car beside us was ‘interesting’ to say the least. (the folks in the lincoln are from Athol...or as we like to call it RatholE).

A rather ‘husky’ A-A ‘girl’ was putting gas in a Lincoln Town Car… When her ‘friend’ a rather skinny A-A with a rather feminen walk strolls around the side of the car with a bottle of power steering fluid to put into the car. They start arguing somewhat about how much to put in. “Hey save some of that I gotta bring my kid to school in the morning”.

They argue a little more on the subject the dude only put in a little, starts the car and turns the wheel side to side.

I’m laughing and so is my uncle… So my uncle says to them “Don’t ya’ think it would be cheaper just to fix the power steering than to just p^ss the fluid allover the place???” To which the ‘girl’ says “Whada I care...It ain’t my car!”

...And her friend with the rather light in the loafers’ walk just had to get in his $.02...."I may bees a b^tch...But at leasts I know...”

....We couldn’t stop laughing even five miles down the road on that one! wink

But keep in mind… The Hess gas station on Pearson Blvd in G-Vegas is always good for a laugh anyway. My uncle pointed out the banner on the fence...right after the Town Car.

“I know...But hey...Whada ya want...this is G-Vegas, anything goes!”

(Originally)When I saw the banner (below) I couldn’t help it… I walked up to the cashier (Kevin a kid I know) and asked “So I buy one of them throttle drinks??? Whose Mother do I get...Yours???”

He looked at me a little funny and started laughing. The banner has been up for about three weeks now. Good public image for Coca-Cola…

I know (WEB)this is probably gonna ‘light the fuse’ (on a certain personal hygine product designed for the female persuasion)...BUT:

Do you think this banner was ‘outsourced’...and was perhaps ‘Made In China’???

“Ingrish So Hahhd to runderstand...Rich retter do use in dare”
Only in America! “Living in America...”

Can you say “Hooked on Phonics’ wurks 4 me???"… ROFLMMFAO!! wink

no i don’t think the banner was outsourced but rather it shows the intelligence level of some of the people in your area ( banners are made at the local distribution facility )

btw how many languages do you speak?  I can assure you – their “Ingrish” is much better than your Chinese :sigh:

You won’t win with one of those locking covers if she is at all resourceful.  GSA used to have those damned things on our outlying Customs Ports and run the heat way down before the guy went home at the end of the day.  While some of us would sit and freeze in the wee hours of the midnight shift when your body temp drops, the more resourceful among us like me had our ways.  Mine was a tiny long bladed screw driver that I used to roll the stat to where I wanted it.  Others got pissed and popped it a time or two with the fire extinguisher or tossed a bag of ice on top of the stat.  He never could figure how it got so warm in the building when he came in at 6 am but I for one sure didn’t care a bit.  I wasn’t gonna freeze my tuckus off all night. 
Get the dummy stat.  Mine knows where the furnace switch is all too well.  I agree with the bill idea too.  At 27 she can chip in or put some damned clothes on.  Mine does the same darned thing at 16.  She is just going out the door and howling like hell about not wanting to take my old Z 24 because the AC doesn’t work.  I never had ac in a car till I was nearly 50 and still don’t 9/10 of the time while she has the magic car that the gas tank never gets empty, the insurance is paid for and I ended up paying for........................................................ It never ends
