Brian Court homes should switch to auto mode instead of heat-only during spring's unpredictable temperature swings. Poughkeepsie's spring weather can vary 30+ degrees between morning and afternoon, so your system needs flexibility to both heat and cool as needed. Manual thermostat adjustments throughout the day waste energy and create comfort issues. Setting your thermostat to 68-70 degrees on auto mode handles the daily temperature variations efficiently.
