But again: cold side 80. Warm side 90. Give or take maybe 2 degrees, but you need to get those temps up to that, NOT above that, or below that.
I do currently have 2 UTHs one on a tstat one on a reostat. the cool side never drops below 78 degrees and is on the reostat.

Im at a total loss. My land lord pitches one if the power bill goes up at all above the agreed amount. I know if I try and heat the whole room with a heater it will run all day. my house is poorly insulated.

I think the part that really gets me, is, I posted about doing this setup before I did it and was told it would be fine. I guess I should have let more ppl respond before doing it.
