# Heating and Cooling

Last updated: 2026-11-09

This section explains how to configure heating and cooling in TapHome: switching the installation between heating and cooling modes, controlling the temperature of the heating or cooling medium, running boilers in cascade, stabilizing underfloor heating and automating a hot water circulation pump. It is for anyone setting up a TapHome installation that controls these systems. Heating and cooling modes apply to the entire installation and are represented by the virtual device **Heating & Cooling** (default), which every new installation already contains. Some guides, such as the boiler cascade, expect devices like a thermostat and digital outputs to be defined first. Choose your task below and open the matching guide.

## Heating and cooling tasks

- [Modes](https://taphome.com/en/docs/functional-areas/heating-cooling/heating-cooling-mode/) — Switch the whole installation between heating and cooling modes
- [Equithermic regulation](https://taphome.com/en/docs/functional-areas/heating-cooling/equithermic-regulation/) — Calculate the temperature of the heating or cooling medium from the outdoor temperature
- [Circulation Pump](https://taphome.com/en/docs/functional-areas/heating-cooling/circulation-pump/) — Run a hot water circulation pump periodically
- [Boiler Cascade](https://taphome.com/en/docs/functional-areas/heating-cooling/boiler-cascade/) — Run two or more boilers in cascade with a PID controller
- [Bivalent Heating](https://taphome.com/en/docs/functional-areas/heating-cooling/bivalent-heating/) — Switch between a heat pump and a gas boiler by the outdoor temperature over several hours
- [PID Cascade](https://taphome.com/en/docs/functional-areas/heating-cooling/pid-cascade/) — Stabilize underfloor heating with two interconnected PID smart rules

## Troubleshooting

Common issues related to this topic:

- [Humidity too high on a switch or controller](https://taphome.com/en/troubleshooting/configuration/humidity-too-high-temperature-compensation/) — The temperature and humidity sensor of a TapHome switch or controller with display reads too cold and too humid when its temperature compensation subtracts more heat than the device really produces.
