• Thermostat goes into recovery mode

    Aug.29.2010

    Your company replaced our air conditioning last year and put in an ARS thermostat. In the evenings around 7:00 p.m. it goes into Recovery mode and sets the temperature at the 10:00 p.m. temperature. I've gone through setting several times and cannot figure out what it is. Can you help me?

    Setback thermostats have an Intelligent Recovery that will look ahead and start bringing the temperature down ahead of time so that it is at the desired temperature at the time the new period starts. If the change in program temperature is several degrees then it will start quite awhile before to ensure it is at the correct setting at the scheduled time of change, or if the weather has been unusually hot. If this is a nuisance to you, it can be configured to remove the Smart Recovery, but the tradeoff is that it then only begins to bring the temperature down to the desired setting at the time of the program change, with no look-ahead logic applied.
