Can I Move The Thermostat On My Heat Pump Up And Down Like Other Heating Systems?

During the heating season, we recommend a setting that is comfortable for your household. Once your thermostat is set, the best policy is to leave it alone. Raising the thermostat as little as 2° F may cause the supplementary heat to come on, thereby increasing your energy usage. Although night setback is recommended during the winter for most types of heating systems, to save energy and reduce costs, it is not generally recommended for a heat pump unless a programmable thermostat designed expressly for a heat pump is used. When you have a heat pump, and raise the house temperature in the morning, the supplementary heat may come on using more electricity than you save during the night. Reduce the thermostat temperature setting for weekend trips or vacations during the heating season.

Why Does The Air At The Supply Grill Feel Cooler In The Heating Mode Than Other Types Of Heating Systems?

The accelerated movement of the supply air varies from 85 ° to 106 ° F in the winter. Air movement causes some evaporation of skin moisture causing the sensation of coolness. By setting the proper supply air speed on a heat pump it will provide comfortable air temperatures.
