npub168303eezkmd40tdp5kvpaapr5uky8s66u6uaexz5qr334ft77jrsvaf0qg (npub1683…f0qg) are you "supercooling" bringing down the temperature as much as possible during cheap power times and then off during peak cost times?
We replaced our central AC with a variable speed heat pump last year and supercooling doesn't seem to work as well ($$$ wise) as just keeping the house a constant temperature with it. I think this is because of the way the heat pump tries to stay "on" as much as possible and adjusts the compressor "power" down as it gets closer and closer to the requested temperature.
Note: I do live in the desert and keeping a house 76F when it is 110F is a challenge in and of itself.
