Additional Information

Many smart thermostats have settings that must be programmed by the homeowner while other settings are set to defaults that can be changed by the homeowner. Examples of settings for an air source heat pump include the outdoor temperature setting for backup heat, outdoor temperature setting for compressor lockout and defrost schedule. Settings can impact energy usage. It is important to check those settings to ensure they meet your needs and that of the HVAC system.
