First off why don't you actually measure the temperature with a device independent of the thermostat. There are plenty of room thermometers you can pick up at Walgreens or any hardware store for less than five bucks. After that if the temperatures are off by more than a couple degrees it's time to call your HVAC guy...or girl.

"Feels like" doesn't help us much. Put a thermometer in the room where the thermostat is located to get an actual reading of the temp in that room. If your thermostat is set at 60 but an independent thermometer reading in the room in which the thermostat is located registers a temp wildly different from 60, then something is wrong with either the thermostat or the furnace. Have both checked.

Has it always been this way? Sometimes it's the placement of the thermostat. For example, if you spend most of your time in an area other than the room the thermostat is in, that room will not reflect the true temperature. It only reads from the room in which it is placed. You might want to try moving the thermostat to another location.

Possibly. Hopefully your problem is the thermostat and not the furnace because the thermostat is less expensive.

you could try to blow any dust out of the thermostat. sounds like it might be contacts that are stuck together, if so, you will need to replace it. simple job. just note the position of the wires and check that the plate is installed the correct way

I have a similar problem; mine is worse in the summer with the air cond. on. Since heat rises and cool air drops I do this: in the summer I close off the ducts for the cool air downstairs so it all goes up and drops down. In the winter I close off the upstairs where the heat comems out so all the hot air comes out downstairs and rises to heat the upstairs. It's not perfect; there is still some temp difference but not as bad as you have now.

Nope, your thermostat is mounted upside-down! :-)
