| Jul 12, 2017 at 14:47 | comment | added | iammax | To be honest, I was more interested in seeing people's answers/ideas about heating/cooling the panel thing than actually changing the temperature. But with regards to adjusting the thermostat, the thermometer inside the panel is not very good because it's right where the vent is. Even when I'm not tricking it, when the A/C is on the panel thinks it's colder than it really is because it's near where the cold air blows out, and that makes the A/C stop too early. Same problem when I want heat. So adjusting the thermostat doesn't really help much. | |
