You might try something from Honeywell, which is the brand that most HVAC contractors use. The stock Trane and American Standard thermostats are also white labled Honeywell I believe. Nonetheless, they use a concept of "CPH" or cycles per hour tied in with some PID circuitry.
I go for longer run times and use a CPH of 2, so the thermostat tries to run for 15 minutes followed by 15 minutes off. In mild weather, it is more like 8 minutes on and 20 minutes off. I was skeptical about replacing my Nest with it, but I think it holds the temp more comfortably. Plus you can add wired and/or wireless sensors to various rooms in you house so everything stays more balanced.
- emodendroket 4y agoI used a Honeywell smart thermostat and a Nest and the UX for the Nest is definitely better. The functionality is similar though.
