Thermostat Hold vs. Run: What's the Difference?

Thermostat 'hold' and 'run' (or program) settings control how your system follows a schedule. This guide explains the difference.

Hold

'Hold' maintains a set temperature indefinitely, overriding the programmed schedule.

Run (Program)

'Run' follows the programmed schedule, adjusting temperatures by time of day.

Which to Use

Use 'run' for everyday efficiency. Use 'hold' for temporary overrides, such as a vacation or illness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hold maintains one temperature; run follows the programmed schedule.
