The Hunter will be an improvement but it will still allow the heat to over shoot the set point. In my case this was by 3 degrees.This is because when the room hits the ratget temp, the stat turns off the furnace. Unfortunately the furnace has to run another 60~90 seconds in order to cool down it's heat exchanger in a manner that keeps it from cracking. This is what makes the furnace over shoot the set point. The smaller the area the worse the effect.
If you get an Energy star rated stat (like I finally did) it will take this over-shoot issue into account and will shut the heat off just before the set point. This allows the cool down period to heat the room to its exact set point.
The ES rated stat will keep the heat and AC much tighter and use less energy too.
