How can the aircon be at the same temperature for both heating/cooling modes and feel different?

Answer 1

Neither the heat nor cooling blows air the temp its set up… that temp is the target temp. Let’s say both are set to 72 degrees. When the temp in the room drops below 72, then the heat blasts hot air, about 100 degrees, into the room to mix with the ambient air until the overall air mixture reaches 72 degrees. For AC, when the temp rises above 72 degrees, then cold air, around 40 degrees, blasts out to mix with the ambient air until the overall air mix drops to 72.
