As far as dust buildup on the evaporator coil goes, I never thought about that. I'll have to stick my head in the blower cabinet and see what's going on in there. It's due to be vacuumed out anyway.
Since I adjusted it its been cycling about 4-5 times per hour, about normal for the 30 degree nights we've been having lately. Still a little too sensitive for my taste but that will have to wait until I can get a new t-stat.

If youve got a thermostat that has an adjustable cycle rate , then adjust it so you get a 2 f. drop in indoor temp. before the next heating cycle starts. If 4-5 times per house at 30 f. is equivalent to a 2 f. drop in indoor temp, then youve nailed it.
