The reason that the fan blows slower when the heat is on is that there is a point of diminishing returns between the heat temp and the fan. If the fan blows too hard it will cool the heated air and be counter productive to heating the house. In the summer, the fan can blow as fast as it wants for the obvious reason.

Regarding the original question, my M.O. for setting my HVAC in the warmer months is to set the programmable thermostat to come on at 6 (an hour before I get home) and 78*. Then when i get home i lower it to low 70's. It's also programmed to turn off at 8 a.m. which is when I leave in the morning.

For heat it's about the same M.O., set it to about 60* when i'm not home, program it to 68* about an hour before i get home, back to low 60's at midnight, back up to 68* at 6:30 a.m. so it's warm when i get out of bed at 7, and back to 60* at 8 a.m. when i leave. The weekends are up to you and when you're in/out of the house.

That is the issue. Perhaps you misunderstood. The fan blows SLOWER in summers than in winters. if the temp diff between the set temp and the present temp is more than 3 degrees, the blower starts at full speed gradually slowing down as the temp reaches the set limit when the furnace comes on.

In summers its one frigging medium speed. I want it to be FASTER..real fast. I know there are dip switches in there. time to open up the sucker.
