I have an ''EMI'' ductless split system for heating and ac in our small upstairs area. It is wall mount w/remote ac compressor. It will kick on and off, ignoring the settings, and has even ran the heat strip and ac compessor at the same time. Any ideas? Model #WHP18.
Hi, what you have here is a ductless heat-pump split system. In the heat mode the compressor will run on a heat pump as it uses a reversing valve to reverse the flow of freon to heat your house. If it gets cold enough, the stat will call for the emergency heat strips to energize to come on for back up. Now, if the unit does not come on or go off when the thermostat calls for either heat or cool to come on and it just does it whenever it wants to, the stat will have to be replaced with a new one. If you plan on doing this your self, I would get the exact same heat-pump stat as you have because they make so many different models that the wiring may be much different and you will be lost when you go to wire it up. The heat - pump has many more control wires on them then the conventional heat/ac unit. So make it easy on your self and get the same one. They are easy to replace. If it is ignoring the settings its the stat. Heat strips and compressor running in the heat position together are normal for a heat- pump.
Sincerely,

My system has NO heat pump, only heat strips & ac compressor. It has 3 selectable modes, cooling, heat & fan.
Have you checked the electrical compartment for moisture or anything out of the ordinary?
