Understanding Set Point and actual Room Temperature
- Set point refers to the temperature you set on your remote, not the temperature that a wall thermostat reads in the same room as your heat pump
- The thermostat sensor for a ductless heat pump is inside the head on the wall. It is inside that unit where the set point is measured
- Because the temperature is based on the temperature of the air that’s being brought back into your heat pump indoor unit and not the air that is around a wall thermostat in your room you might find the unit shuts down because it has satisfied the called for temperature even though your wall thermostat may read a lower temperature
- Focus on comfort in the room. The difference between a set point of 20°C versus 23°C is nickels and dimes not dollars a day for your heating costs, so focus on feeling comfortable
