How to Lower the Temperature on my Heat Pump?

Lowering the temperature on your heat pump typically involves adjusting the thermostat settings. Here's a general guide on how to do it, but keep in mind that specific instructions may vary based on your heat pump model:


  1. Locate the Thermostat: Find the thermostat that controls your heat pump. It's usually located on an interior wall.


  2. Turn the Thermostat to a Lower Temperature: Most thermostats have a temperature control dial or digital display. Turn the dial or adjust the digital settings to a lower temperature. If you have a programmable thermostat, you may need to navigate through the menu to set the desired temperature.


  3. Wait for the System to Respond: After you've adjusted the thermostat, give the heat pump some time to respond and make the necessary adjustments. The system may take a few minutes to reach the new temperature setting.


  4. Check for Additional Settings: Some heat pumps have additional settings, such as "Heat," "Cool," "Auto," or "Fan." Make sure the system is set to "Cool" or a similar setting for cooling mode. If you're using a heat pump for both heating and cooling, ensure it's in the right mode.


  5. Adjust Fan Settings (Optional): Some thermostats allow you to control the fan settings. If you want to cool the space more quickly, you can set the fan to a higher speed. However, leaving it on "Auto" is often more energy-efficient.


  6. Consider Energy-Saving Tips: To maximize energy efficiency, consider keeping the thermostat set to a moderate temperature when you're home and awake, and raising it a few degrees when you're away or asleep.


If you're having difficulty with your heat pump or if the temperature is not adjusting as expected, it's advisable to consult the user manual for your specific heat pump model or contact the manufacturer's customer support for assistance. Additionally, you may want to check for any error codes on the thermostat or heat pump display that could provide information about potential issues.

by Aaron on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.

by Linda on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!

Great experience all around. Bob was sharp and easy to talk to, and Greg handled the installation perfectly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.

by Trevor Owens on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I returned from vacation to find my AC unit on the Fritz. After calling way too many places I connected with TwinTech. I’ve used the company in the past for my furnace so I was happy when I recognized Greg at my front door. He’s great and the service is always top notch. I’d highly recommend using twintech for honest, superior service in the Durham region. Thanks!

by Nicole Alain on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I called Twin Tech when my air conditioning stopped working. Greg came over to diagnose the issue - the same day. He was able to diagnose the issue and resolve it quite quickly. Although it was a quick fix, Greg was very thorough in explaining the issue and provided great advice. Not to mention, I felt very comfortable having Greg in my home - which I consider very important when hiring a service provider. Twin Tech will be my go-to from now on. Thank you!!

by Courtney Parkes on Twintech Heating and Cooling
