Does a ducted heat pump measure the temperature in every room?
No. Unless a system has zone control with dedicated room sensors, a ducted heat pump measures temperature at a single point, usually the wall-mounted control panel or a sensor near the return grille. It does not know the actual temperature in each room.This is why a room can feel noticeably hotter or colder than the temperature shown on the display. A bedroom at the end of a duct run, a room with more sun exposure, or a room with a closed door can all sit well away from the reading at the panel, even though the system is working exactly as set.If one room consistently runs hotter or colder than the rest of the house, the cause is more likely airflow or duct condition than a fault.
