Thanks Steve no need to do all that work I just thought there was a way
to give a rough idea.

As for my cycle rate, I know that the tstat has a "built in compressor
protection" feature built in it per the manual. Is this what you were
referring to?

Also some people have advised to upgrade to the VisionPro in order to
control the cycle rate, but according to HW my Tstat is set to a
standard cycle rate of 3 but can still cycle more based on all the
other factors involved. So even if I upgraded (to the visionpro) and
was able to change the cycle rate to 3 what's the point if it can still
run more cycles then that, or am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks again,
Felix
