Cooling fan on/off question...
Hello,
After reading a number of threads on cooling fan on/off temperatures, I'm still not sure what the best temperatures would be to reprogram the cooling fans at...
Some people have the two fans staggered in 9 or 10 degree incerments (ex. Fan 1 on/off at 209/200, Fan 2 on/off at 219/210).
Other people have both fans come on at practically to same time (ex. Fan 1 194/185; Fan 2 196/186).
What would determine the ideal on/off settings? Any general rules, hints, or suggestions?
I have a 170 degree t-stat installed.
Thanks.......

Mine are programmed like this (which are the lowest recommended settings for 195 degree thermostat) Fan 1 on at 210 and off at 200
fan 2 on at 215 and off at 205. However since you have a 170 degree stat, this info may be worthless for you.

How did you decide on those particular on/off temps for your 172 t-stat? Is there a formula you went by?
