How does a programmable thermostat differ from a non-programmable thermostat?

• A programmable thermostat only works with certain types of heating systems

• A programmable thermostat allows users to set different temperature settings for different times of the day.

• A programmable thermostat is more expensive than a non-programmable thermostat

• A programmable thermostat requires professional installation while a non-programmable thermostat does not

Explain the function of a heat anticipator in a thermostat.

• It helps to prevent the heating system from overshooting the desired temperature.

• It helps to detect the presence of carbon monoxide in the air.

• It controls the humidity levels in the room.

• It regulates the speed of the fan in the heating system.

What are the common problems associated with thermostats in HVAC systems?

Explain the concept of setback temperature in relation to thermostats.

• Setback temperature is the practice of adjusting the temperature setting on a thermostat based on the outdoor temperature.

• Setback temperature is the practice of keeping the temperature setting on a thermostat constant at all times.

• Setback temperature is the practice of temporarily lowering the temperature setting on a thermostat for a specific period of time.

• Setback temperature is the practice of increasing the temperature setting on a thermostat for a specific period of time.

How does a thermostat control the heating and cooling systems in an HVAC setup?

• By measuring the humidity levels in the room

• By manually adjusting the temperature with a dial

• By sensing the temperature and activating the HVAC system

• By using a timer to turn the HVAC system on and off
