Hi All,
I have a general HVAC question. I live in Colorado and even on the hottest days (90+) the evenings are usually cool (<70 degrees) but not until about 2 or 3 am. I have a setback thermostat that is set to raise the temperature to 76 deg. after 12 midnite until 4pm the next day when we return home (to save money). In the mornings it is not uncommon for the house to be 75 degrees inside due to the heat from the previous day but outside is 65 to 70 degrees. Is there a way to allow the HVAC to sense when the outside temp is low enough outside and have it start to draw outside air into the house instead of just recirculating the stale air in house? This would be like a car that has a lever for choosing to recirculate air or bring in fresh air only this would have to be automatic.
Any ideas or solutions out there?
Gary
