Hello,
I recently had two TAM7 air handlers and two 2 ton XL15i heat pumps installed in my home.
So far this setup seems great, but now that we are getting into the colder weather I did notice one thing when the nights have been the coldest and that is that after the heat pumps themselves cycle off and the air handlers continue to run for a little bi before cycling off as well, is that the air coming out of the ducts gets very cold at the end of the cycle before the air handlers actually finally turn off and I think the reason is because my ductwork is in unconditioned space(attic and unfinished basement) and the cold weather in the attic and in the basement are cooling off my duct work before the air handlers turn off. So my concern is, is that my system is not as efficient as it could be.
So my big question I guess is.....is there any way to reduce the length of runtime of the air handlers after the heat pumps cycle off? I'm thinking that would solve my issue the easiest. Oh and I should mention I use the Schlage Link/Trane AZEMT500B Thermostats. I'm not sure if the setting would be available via the thermostat settings or if that would have to be modified on the air handler boards.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
