I don't think there is a timing/scheduling option for Airxcel Thermostats...I looked for that when I changed mine out for one of their Bluetooth version sthermostat, but even that one only connects to WIFI/Iphone APP to set the temp/mode, but no "schedule" function...

What model Thermostat do you have? Because if it is programmable, I want one ...

Not sure I understand what you are asking Selecting the thermostat to AUTO (either heat or cool) means the fan only runs when the A/C or heat is running. If it is getting too hot, lower the desired temp setting. Other than that it's a "dumb" (non-smart) thermostat.

Lol, yeah I guess that it is what it is.

If you want to be able to program it, replace it with this: https://www.microair.net/products/ea...32199143555156

Wire for wire compatible, I put one in last night in about fifteen minutes.

I will try to post something tomorrow. The existing one just pulls up and off and has something like eight color coded wires. I just moved the wires one at a time to the new one and then screwed it to the wall.

Here is the original thermostat:



To remove it just push up on the bottom and it slides up and off. Here are the wires on the back:



The wires are held in by spring clips, you just push on the little squares with a small screw driver and pull each wire out.

Here is the back of the new thermostat, it has the same kind of spring clips and I just moved the wires over one at a time to the new thermostat, they go in the same order. Move them one at a time so you don't lose track of what goes where, it is a good idea to take a picture first too.



You have to remove the two mounting screws from the original thermostat that were arrayed vertically and put in the two new screws arrayed horizontally and then the thermostat snaps on.

Here is the thermostat (middle row right) mounted in my control center.

If you buy it from Microair they ship it right away and then it is just a matter of what shipping speed you select/pay for. I think I got mine in around 3 days.
