Hot flashes, I guess : she always wants it on continuously, esp at night. ???
What if I left the existing control in, remove its wiring to the on/off compressor wiring (in effect, when she rushes up to turn it down to 33 , it would only turn on the fan)
Then add a secondary, hidden thermostat control... wired parallel w/ first thermostat to the fan control (so if /when it does kick the AC compressor on, it also kicks the fan on, just like ?normal? use), but this second (dummy/hidden) one would have exclusive control of actuating the compressor.
The result? She turns the exposed control down, only the fan kicks on (she couldn?t tell the difference), she goes to bed thinking ?battle won?. Then the compressor only actually kicks on if it reaches above 72 deg (you know, what us normal people live in ), with the certainty of the fan being on (absolutely needed when the compressor is on) as well.
