Just skimmed through this thread for the first time. Great thread, but man – you got problems !
First, have FLU rewire your thermostat so it reads “78” when it is actually 72, unless it is Summer, then have it read 65when it is actually 72. It’s a complicated algorithm, but he seems pretty smart.

I’ll just send these instructions for free, since, despite this economic downturn, I’m not *that* desperate for contract geek work (yet).
If your thermostat is a digital type:
Step one: find nose headed wire cutters
Step two: open thermostat cover
Step three: cut the following wires: red, orange, yellow, green, blue,black, brown. If there are any other wires uncut, cut them too.
Step four: replace cover.
Step five: confirm buttons are inoperative and/or digital display is deactivated.
If your thermostat is a manual type:
Step one: find a hammer
Step two: drive hammer into thermostat
Step three: verify thermostat has been deactivated
If you really have money to burn and want me to re-jig your thermo’s lcd display, my contract rate is $275/hr, excluding travel cost.
