"ON"
CYCLE
When
the conventional siNtem is ON, full output (in this case 225°)

greater, increasing .heat loss through the perimeter. The excessive
heat will further trigger the thermostat to pump more cool air into
the building. In spring and
fall,
the use of mechanical cooling to compensate for excess perimeter
heat can result in very high energy bills.
