The room temperature reading appears to be incorrect. Why?
If you just installed or programmed the unit the temperature reading may be off and is most likely reading high. The thermostat has picked up heat from you touching the unit. It could take several hours to settle in. If after several hours if the temperature is still off and you unit has a digital display you can calibrate the unit. See operation manual for how to calibrate your specific thermostat to match your desires.
