I just had a new furnace installed...it is a Bryant Evolution Plus 95s. It is a multistage furnace, but it seems they installed a non-multistage thermostat (Aprilaire 8363). Do I need the multistage thermostat for my new furnace to function properly?

The past few weeks have been hot and humid. Everyone is trying to stay cool by staying inside indoors with A/C, drinking water and avoiding the sun altogether. As we ready up for work we sometimes forget to dress appropriately to combat the heat.
Therefore, here are some tips we recommend to help you stay cool.
Set the Dial Higher
If you have central air, set your thermostat above 78 degrees (all temperatures cited here are in degrees Fahrenheit). You’ll save 5 to 8 percent on cooling costs with each degree above that mark. For a typical household, setting the thermostat at 80 degrees saves 10 to 15 percent; raising it to 85 degrees will save 35 to 55 percent.
Use a Fan
A fan, which costs two to five cents per hour to operate, will make a room feel 4 to 6 degrees cooler. Also, a fan works well in tandem with an air conditioner because the dehumidifying action of the air conditioner provides drier air that the fan can then move around.
Practice “Texas Cool”
“Texas cool” is a morning and evening routine that takes advantage of cool outdoor temperatures at night and keeps the heat at bay as much as possible during daylight hours. It’s very simple to do: At night when the temperature drops, open windows and bring in cool air with window fans or a whole-house fan. As soon as the sun comes up or the air starts to heat up, shut the windows and shades and keep doors closed.
