- If your existing switch is the old-fashioned kind that uses a bimetal spring; you may be able to "recalibrate" it by rotating the mounting post for the spring. Or if it uses a bimetal spring plus a m

- I agree. The temperature at the thermostat is not the same as the temperature in the coldest corner of the room. I wouldn't go with lower than 40F. Even at that, you could still have problems, depend

- Hmm. I can't find the exact unit I'm using, and I note that mine is line voltage instead of low voltage, which will probably change what you can find. McMaster has some round ones (Honeywell style) t

- You might try installing a small heater near or in the thermostat. Nightlite maybe? This would fool the thermostat into thinking its warmer than it really is and a little (or a lot) trial and error m

- I'm not sure what the problem is here, Tony. My thermostat only goes down to 50 and it's costing me darn near nothing to maintain 50 in Minnesota. Should be a walk in the park for Sherman Texas. Phil
