Q My old thermostat had an anticipator adjustment. Where is it on yours?

A Ritetemp thermostats do not require an anticipator adjustment because it is an electronic thermostat. Electronic thermostats typically use temperature sensing devices called thermistors which are very small, with almost no thermal mass. These devices track the air temperature very well so no anticipator is necessary. Ritetemp thermostats are specified and checked at +/- 1F.
