I have an 18K head at one end of the main floor and a 12K at the other with my thermostat right in the middle, The 18K unit I turned up to 76 and the 12K unit I turned up to 72. This main level is 1400 sq ft.
I'm thinking I should have put another head in the middle of the house but that would have required a bigger unit with 6 head capacity.
I installed a 48K unit with 5 heads for a 2000 sq ft home. The house is a 26x52 Cape, two bedrooms on the top floor have 6K heads each and one 6K head in the basement.

I can't tell you if you have the proper amount "heads" or BTU's required for your home but a qualified installer certainly should have done that before the install. Obviously sizing and placement of indoor air handlers are crucial!
One thing to remember...the temperature on your thermostat comes from wherever you mounted the indoor air handler (head) and has nothing to do with where you mounted the thermostat. The head simply tells the thermostat what the temp is at it's location...
If your having any kind of issues now whatsoever with the temps still well above freezing, I would highly recommend you call your installer and have him confirm your system is installed, setup and working properly.
