Whops! I had 170 on the brain. It's a 180 t'stat.
Maybe you can clarify your responce for me. You said "Personally I don't
like either of your on-off options, for the very reasons you stated although
I'd have to lean toward the 185/170." Well, my reasons were that it would
run too often and too cold, so to off set that, shouldn't the 200/185
thermostat be used?
Thanks again,
James
