: The longer a steam (and burner) cycle the better. If you had given the model number, I could have looked up what the cycle setting is. On many stats you just pick a setting for a package like: On 6-7am, 4-10pm on weekdays and 8am-10pm on weekends. Or a choice for someone being home during the day, etc. The response of steam is usually slow. See 10/2 posting
Thanks for the reply. The model is a honeywell 3600. I know have the cycle time set on 1 which I assume is the longest cycling. What do you mean by, " you just pick a setting for a package like....". What setting are you referring to, the temp setting? I have no problem with the temp settings, I was just curious about the offset from that setting and is that a function of the cycle time of 1 that Honeywell recommended.
Thanks again for the quick response!
