What is the Auto setting on thermostat?
The auto setting on your thermostat tells your HVAC system to only run with it’s necessary. It automatically turns on when the home starts to fall below the desired temperature. Ultimately, you don’t waste energy having the fan push air through your home all day and night.
How do I set temperature to auto mode?
From the main screen of the app, tap the Mode icon in the lower left corner. All available options will be displayed. Select “Auto” to allow the thermostat to switch between heating and cooling based on room temperature and the selected heating and cooling set points.
Should your air be on auto or on?
Keeping your fan on AUTO is the most energy-efficient option. The fan only runs when the system is on and not continuously. There is better dehumidification in your home during the summer months. When your fan is set to AUTO, moisture from cold cooling coils can drip and be drained outside.
What is the best setting for my heat pump?
Set the temperature between 20°C and 22°C. Setting the temperature higher makes it work harder and it will be less efficient. Running a heat pump at 26°C will use 50% more power than at 21°C. If you are not at home during the day, turn the heat pump off when you go out.
What is the best temperature setting for a heat pump?
Heat pumps do not operate as efficiently when temperatures drop to between 25 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit for most systems. A heat pump works best when the temperature is above 40. Once outdoor temperatures drop to 40 degrees, heat pumps start losing efficiency, and they consume more energy to do their jobs.
What should air temp rise at outlet of blower be?
One manufacturer advices to take the actually net compressed volume as 75% of the theoretical, i/o to take into account the “slip” effect. If this is correct then the estimation made by zdas04 of an “inlet” temperature of around 98 o F confirms a slip of about 24%. I want to thank you all for your valuable input. Truly appreciated.
Can you change the speed of an air blower?
Yes you can but we think its just better to know that it can be done whats involved with a simple speed change of your air blower for your furnace air conditioner or heat pump. Ryan from Environmental Heating & air of nc gives you the color codes and speed of those wires.
What is the result of a higher blower speed?
In a/c, lower speed gives greater dehumidification; higher gives better (sensible) temperature control (within limits). In heating, higher speed = (usually)more flow/lower temperature; lower speed = less flow, higher temperature. Depending on your local conditions, it is possible that heating and a/c can utilize the same blower speed.
What is the fan setting on a HVAC system?
The fan setting on your thermostat controls your HVAC’s system blower. The blower helps circulate hot or cold air throughout your home until the temperature on the thermostat is reached. There are two settings on your thermostat to control the fan – auto or on.

How does temperature affect the efficiency of a blower?
The following items impact the efficiency of blowers: Temperature rise: Temperature rise is the difference between the inlet temperature and the discharge temperature.
What should the inlet temp of a lobe blower be?
Lobe type blowers are isentropic units so the temperature rise should be around Tout=Tin (CR)^ ( (k-1)/k). With two compression ratios I get 137F out with air (k=1.4). To get to 220F I need an inlet temp around 98F.
