I have a condo with 2 new A/c units for 2 rooms/ the problem is even on the lowest fan setting the tv room gets to cold. Its an Auto with remote, duct style a/c unit. Is it possible to install a manual type of dial control like in the older hotels and would that help? Using the remote just makes the unit chase the temp flat out blowing icy air, way to cold. any suggestions?

fan setting is irrelevant. change temperature on your remote.

where is the temperature sensor located???

I'm away for 3 weeks and don't know where the sensor is located. The temp control does some strange things like if it says 32 deg and I set it for 29 it will go past that and stay at 28 for example still blowing cold icy air. I have been living there for a year and its either way to cold and what should be the right temp ends up being to warm and I have a feeling it may be the censor location

find out where the sensor is and whether it measures room return air or (wrong) the temperature of the false ceiling in which the ducts are located. by the way, are you sure you have ducts or are you talking about a ceiling mounted aircon?

Thanks Naam will check it out when Im back. They are ducts with 2 compressors in the A/c room

The thermostat sensor should be located to measure the temperature of the return air. Recomended setting of thermostat is a minimum of 23.5 to 24 degrees C. for economical operation.

only for those who like that low temperature. the word "economical" is in this respect not warranted.

Never set below 25 for economic operation seems to be the local wisdom. The new Panasonic top entry 9k unit we have is set at 28 (never below 27) and fully cools a room so either unit sensor is wrong or there is a big difference when using ceiling air return rather than lower front entry units (I suspect it is the top entry hotter air).

local (and general) wisdom is quite obviously unknown to a big number of Bills, Hanks and Joes who saw the first aircon unit a couple of months ago but think they are able to contribute to a factual discussion by poking their noses and present the results

Local wisdom is: set every aircon to minimum and buy European winter clothes. Saw that in many offices.

The term "economical" here is a compromise for average commercial use, based on an outside ambient of above 30C

and suited to Australian conditions which are similiar to Thailand. You adjust the temperature settings to suit individual needs in a domestic situation, 25C is probably the value to aim for if you are concerned with energy costs.

People react to temperature in different ways.
