Other information
I like to maintain about 68F at my home even in Summer
I have a ECOBEE 4 Plus thermostat, and I switched my ventilation ( damper control) from a Mechanical Timer to Ecobee, as it has the following advantages
- Free Cooling - Which would open the dampers to bring it cool air early mornings / late evenings
- Ventilation Control - Based on occupancy in the home ( sensors at home detect occupancy) and geofencing.
One of the disadvantages of the Ecobee it seems is that you can set ventilation to happen say 10 min/hr, but not specify hours when this happens 
so in essence even during a hot day, in order to maintain air-quality I was bringing in really hot air, conditioning it and then releasing it in the home.
I did have a bad furnace motor which was fixed the week of Aug-17 and my drain-line for the HVAC was partially (mostly) blocked until 09/05.
For now, I have disabled my thermostat from controlling the ventilation, may wire-in the OLD mechanical timer to perform ventilation for the next couple of days during scheduled hours ( this would be parallel electrical wiring).
