Default correct thermostat rating for t1

Hi,

I got 2 thermostats, and to my surprise they have different specs one
is 65-75 and second one something around ~80 can't quite recall. Which
one is the right one for type 1. I am in Nor cal, it does get toasty
here around 110 for a few weeks or a month a year, never snows but we
do see occasional temp drops to 0 in the winter.

Thanks,
Anton

Hi Joey,

Does that mean that I should stay away from the later one on my 64? I
suppose the only downside is that flaps will be open till she really
warms up...

Thanks,
