Thermostat Location

[Chip]

Stupid question, is there a negative effect for placing a thermostat in the HVAC closet?

[Jimmer]

Chip,

Welcome to the forum. Putting a thermostat in a closed location, like a closet, will not give you an accurate reading of the temperature in the main living space. Putting a thermostat in a room with mechanical equipment that gives off heat will definitely give you a false reading.

Good luck, Jim
