When I cool the room it doesn't drop to the temperature I have it set to but a few degrees celcius higher. Is that normal? I honestly never checked on my old unit but this one doesn't seem to feel as cool.

Normal ACs (non inverter) work in the following way

• The AC compressor runs continuously till set temperature is reached in the room
• The compressor then switches off, but the blower fan in the wall mounter unit keeps running. Durint this time the AC fan blows air out at Room temperature (which feels warmer)
• When temperature of room rises then compressor starts running again. During theis period the air coming out from the inner uny is cooled by the condenser coils
• And the process is repeated.... as long as you keep AC running

Ac works this way throught the operation period.
Now if you feel that your AC keeps switching off and on very frequently check the following

• Your AC may be over powered for room *for example a 1.5 ton AC installed in a scenario where 1 ton is enough)
• If there is voltage fluctuation in your area then the compressor may keep shutting don on large voltage swings
  • Solution: Get a Stabilizer
• You have set the temperature setting too high. Max temp suggested for ACs is 25 degree Celsius, any higher will mean the compressor shuts down often. Remember every compressor shutdown and startup draws a high starting current
  • Set AC temperatures between 22 and 24 degrees Celsius
• The thermostat/ Temperature sensor is faulty
  • Get unit inspected by Authorized technician
• There is dust buildup on the outer unit / compressor unit. The dust buildup may cause overheating by preventing efficient heat exchange, This may lead to overheating of compressor and it shuts down to, prevent damage to itself
  • Get unit serviced by Authorized technician
• The fan motor of the outer unit is not working properly
  • Get unit inspected by Authorized technician

Remember to get the AC serviced at least thrice a year to ensure smooth operation

From the owners manual:
TEMP Buttons:
Sets the desired temperature.
In COOL or DRY mode, the temperature needs to be set lower than
the current room temperature. In HEAT mode, the temperature needs
to be set higher than the current room temperature.
Otherwise, corresponding operation mode may not start. Temperature setting range AUTO/COOL/DRY 18-30 °C HEAT 16-30 °C

Yes there is a one degree tolerance, in fact my heater just kicked on and it is set to 67 and the inside temperature reads 67. It is also a Honeywell.

Air conditioners can only drop the temperature of the room temperature a maximum of 15 to 20 degrees F. A 95 degree F room temperature can drop to a maximum temperature of 75 to 80 degrees F. If the room temperature drops from 95 to 85 degrees F, Then the problem is having too small of a btu rating on the air conditioner or refrigerant has leaked out the sealed system which can affect the amount of cooling performance. You will have to buy a higher rated btu rated air conditioner if the temperature of the room drops by only 10 degrees F. Air conditioners are rated by how much heat that can be removed each hour. The more humid it is, the more work an air conditioner has to do. They cannot do more work than the btu rating that is listed on each air conditioner.

Check the thermostat setting. Must be minimum -3 degree Celsius from room temp

40-49 degrees celcius (104-120F) is normal temperature for most systems. It is not uncommon to see higher temps when doing process intensive programs such as video games or encoding.

Lower temperature will keep the room cooler. For efficiency sake, lower the temperature gradually to
68 degrees.

Hope this helped you. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Normally all thermostat calibrated at the end or beginning of -2 or +2 degree difference.

I fyou set 24 degree for cool, it will cut off at the end of 22 and cut in at the beginning of 26degree

You can adjust the position of the room air sensor found on the back of the unit between the heater and the wall. It is a black rubber bulb with yellow wires. There is a few inches of extra wire you can extend higher to get a more accurate reading of room air. While you are back there, check for drafts that will give you false readings.

aircons normally pull down to approx. 17 degree celcius.and heats to approx 30 degree celcius.  most of the time you need to simply clean the condenser properly and to make sure fans are in good order.
