What does 3H/2C heat pump when programming a thermostat.

"3H/2C" is a setting commonly found on programmable thermostats. It stands for "3 Heat/2 Cool" and refers to the number of stages that the heating and cooling systems in your home can have.

A 3-stage heating system can operate at low, medium, and high levels of heat output, whereas a 2-stage cooling system can operate at low and high levels of cooling output. This setting allows you to program your thermostat to automatically adjust the temperature in your home based on your schedule and comfort preferences.

When programming your thermostat, you may also have the option to set separate schedules for heating and cooling. This allows you to control the temperature in your home differently depending on the season or time of day, for example.

By setting your thermostat to "3H/2C," you're ensuring that your heating and cooling systems will have the flexibility to provide efficient and comfortable temperature control
