Mikesolar,

Are you stating this as applying to ALL heat pump situations (mini-splits are heat pumps, too) or are you referring to high-mass radiating systems?

Reason being, I am currently using an ASHP to heat my house, 9,000 BTU mini-split, with a built-in set back feature, and there is no problem what so ever.
