Hi, I am wondering if beestat can help me determine if a 3F heating setback makes more sense than a constant hold. I currently have my thermostat set to 68F 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM and 65*F from 10:00 PM - 8:00 AM.
With an outdoor temp of ~32F my Rheem RP15AZ heat pump runs for 3 20 minute bursts overnight to maintain 65F. It then runs stage 1 for 2 hours and stage 2 for 1 hear for a total of three hours runtime to increase the temp to 68*F in the morning.
This is my first winter with a heat pump so I only have two months of heating data so far. Beestat has not created a heat temperature profile for me yet.
What can I look at to determine if a 68F hold overnight is more cost effective than a 3F setback from 65F to 68F.
