Hello,
we actually wanted to use our air-to-water heat pump to actively cool through the underfloor heating as well, but unfortunately forgot to inform the electrician about this.
He said we would need room thermostats that allow switching between heating and cooling.
However, the plastering is already done, so the wiring cannot be changed. As a result, we have too few wires for thermostats with a changeover switch.
Is it possible to simply turn the thermostat all the way up and set the heat pump to cooling? Or would that cause problems with condensation on the floor?
Are there any other options?
Best regards,
Daniel

Basement 20°C (68°F)
Ground floor 23–24°C (73–75°F)
Upper floor 24–25°C (75–77°F)
And we live quite well with that – neighbors with shading, but a house built in 2009, had 27–28°C (81–82°F) upstairs…
