Do you have a single stage A/C ?

Normally in cool mode, a GOOD installer will set the cooling air speed for approximately 400 CFM per ton of cooling. Sometimes that's higher than heat speed and sometimes lower.

I would think the cooling would run at the same speed as it does when the heat pump is heating.

 

I assume I do ? I know the fancy Honeywell stat when toggling to equipment status only shows 1 stage for cool.
But .. if I have the company come that maintains it . Can the fan speed be set to hi when in cool mode ?

 

It CAN be set on a y speed.

Will that provide the best operation, only someone competent can tell you that when they know the equipment capacity a d duct capacity.

The blower speed for the heat pump, heating or cooling, is likely the same.

The speed for the gas furnace is USUALLY different.
This could be higher or lower based on CAPACITY.

 

Also the furnace has this Aprilair humidifier on the side of the plenum ..
There is a “summer” and “ winter “ lever
I don’t think it has anything to do with the air speed felt coming out of the registers though

 

Is your furnace 2 stg? New furnaces move more air than ones of days gone by. The new furnace if oversized compared to HP/AC may need to move more air than the cooling mode. If the furnace is 2 stg it will have 2 fan speeds that should be set up to match the output for each stage.

 

Yes it’s two stage in furnace heat mode, but it looks like only one stage in cool
Can you post a pic here ??

 

If low speed will maintain the temperature in the house the furnace is oversized.

The winter/summer handle on the humidifier is to close the bypass damper so you are not bypassing cold air off the A/C back into the return like is done on heating to provide some heat to evaporate the water.

 

Maybe I misspoke , in the morning we bump the temp up from 65 to 70
The heat goes into go stage until it gets close to set temp , then goes to stage one
Then if it calls for heat to keep it at 70 , it only uses stage one
Our old house did the same
