The word thermostat comes from the Greek “thermos” (heat) and “status” (standing or stationary), which translated loosely means “keep heat at a steady level.”
The thermostat’s actual function is to turn on the compressor when the ambient air temperature is higher than the set temperature of the unit. So it’s more about keeping things stable, not a demand of temperature. Amazing how quickly you went to block someone for pointing out something different than you (and correctly so). Does this point out insecurity on their end or yours?

Good.
