No I would not think so, a thermostat is only to turn the heater on and off period. Now inside the heater there are controls that set when the blower is to come on usually set at 150 degrees and another to cool down the furnace and this is usually around 130 to 120 degrees. Again these tell it when to run and when to shut down, internally they call them high and low limit controls. I would try to locate the lower limit and boost the cool down temperature up to take care of this problem.

Are you getting 240 volts to the heater? The heater should react to thermostat instantly.
