Default prog. therm. and heat pump questions

In effect the ductless split system is just like the strips except
that its much more efficient than the strips for when the primary
system doesnt have enough horsepower to come back off setback
quickly enough


Actually with the heat strips in an auxilairy heat function, the heat
strips are in series with the heat pump indoor air coil and the supply
air temperature distributed through out the space is elevated above
what the heat pump can put out. An electrical analogy would be two
heat sources in series.


Irrelevant to it being a more expensive source of that heat.

The ductless booster system will heat up a common area
that would also be recieving heat from the central ducted
system. Now you have two heat sources in parallel so it
already is a smidge different than using the heat strips.


Irrelevant to strips being a more expensive source of that heat.

So to avoid the room getting overly hot
the ductless system would shut off.


ONLY when its got the common area back off setback.

Thats what you want it to do.

You have warmed up the central area but
all the other rooms are still not recovered.


Wrong, the primary system will be circulating that
warmed up air from the central area to the other areas.

So you could keep the all the bedroom doors open to allow them
to gain as much heat as they could from the booster heater in the
living room, but you will not have anything close to uniform heat.


Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you
have never ever had a ****ing clue about the basics.

AND when people have got up, it doesnt matter if the
bedrooms arent YET back to the normal temp anyway.
Either the bedroom occupant is still in the bed, and has
been at the setback temp up till then, or they have got
up and have moved to the central areas, stupid.

Like a superinsulated home with a central
fireplace burning kangaroo chips.

Reams of your pathetic attempts at a troll flushed where it belongs.

No wonder the best you have ever been able to manage is HVAC ape.
