A heat pump thermostat.
i set my thermostat to cool, my heat pump start it go to heat but not cool, i think the thermostat. can u help.
A programmable thermostat works fine with a heat pump. Just remember that a heat pump does not heat as fast as a furnace because of the lower BTU ratings so do not set the thermostat as far back as you normally would. Also make sure to buy a thermostat that has heat pump terminals.
The purpose of a thermostat on a running heat pump is to be able to determine the temperature the pump is operating at. This is used for regulating the heats needed.
First, is the thermostat in he correct position for cooling? Is there a red light glowing on the thermostat? There could have been a power surge or outage and the heat pump needs to reset. Turn the power off to the heat pump at the control panel for a couple or minutes then back on again to reset the heat pump.
Any brand or make will work if it is 2 heat 1 cool thermostat
yes it can but everytime you want heat you have to put it on Emergency Heat..
when running the heat-pump the air blowing from the heat ducts is not hot ( it's to cold for the heat-pump). you have a main furnace and it won't turn on ( is thermostat selected for this source), ( is the power switch for main furnace on ), ( is fuse for this furnace good). If these are good (check thermostat wiring at thermostat, and transformer).
Emergency Heat [EM] should only be used as a backup if the heat pump fails. EM heat uses 1.5 to 3 times as much or electricity as the heat pump.
why does my 2002 chevy cavalier over heat after i change the thermostat and the water pump
Water pump maybe?
A person can tell if their home heat pump thermostat is working by setting the temperature a few degrees above or below ambient to see if it kicks on. A thermometer can be used to verify the temperature.
