Okay this is probably a really trivial question; but with the remotes for heat pumps (just standard inverter style ones; nothing weird/complex), when you adjust the temperature, does this actually adjust the temperature of the air that the unit will pump out, or does it just change the setting for the thermostat (ie the unit's goal at what it should be trying to get to - if you like)?
Am thinking/hoping that it does actually change the temperature; but when turning ours on at 3 this morning to warm my sons room I had this question ticking through my mind :)

It's controlled by thermostat.

One thing that changes the temp of the incoming air could be the economy setting, if it has one, as the compressor operates at maximum efficiency not maximum power. Also once you're close to temperature it will run at lower power to increase efficiency. But you have no direct control over the air temp.
