Thinking of setting thermostat for single stage heat pump instead of two stage

Posted by Saucer Man on October 31, 2009, 12:14 pm

I am thinking of setting my thermostat to single stage this winter The heat
pump is two stage but the heating bill is very high the months when the
second stage kicks on (and it kicks on a lot). Is it ok to do this or will
it make it worse or cause a problem?

Thanks.

Hmmm,
You sound very illogical. You want comfort or saving money. You can turn
down the 'stat or turn the pump off altogether. Which you want?
2nd stage kicks in to reach your comfort level. Right?

If you have issues, you need to get the system checked by somebody who know
WTF they are doing. Replacing the thermostat isn't going to do anything for
your high bills. A thermostat is nothing more than a temperature controlled
ON/OFF SWITCH. Replacing the thermostat is like saying "My car isn't running
right. maybe if I put a new key in the ignition switch...."

Hey dumbfuck, mebbe That One's trailer park mom can rent you her other
sagging tit, whilst she's re-feeding That.
The OP didn't say anything about replacing 'stats -- he's asking about
stages.

Englich? goodgawd....
