Isn't that completely dependent on the thermostat? The tolerance could be lower, say between 20.9 and 21.1, or higher, such as between 20 and 22, or even something terrible like 18 and 24 (come to New York City some time and experience the wonder of our ancient heating systems).

Sorry, I wasn't talking about the precision that the temperature is maintained at, but just the precision that the temperature is measured with. Nothing to do with my thermostat.
