when required). Heat pump only.
All heat pumps operating in northern climates below
35°F (1.6°C) normally need a supplemental heating
source. Usually it is in the form of electric heating pro-
vided by the indoor unit. Other sources could be gas,
oil, or hot-water back-up systems as well. The sup-
plemental heat is also referred to as "second-stage"
Emerg. Heat
or "back-up" heating, with "first-stage" being the heat
pump only. Emergency heat is when you use your sup-
plemental heat (2nd stage) by itself, without the use of
your heat pump (1st stage heat). Not available for non-
heat pump systems.
Is only available with heat pump system. If outdoor tem-
perature is above the high balance point, only the heat
pump will operate - default 50°F (10°C) high. If outdoor
temperature is below the low balance point, only aux-
Aux. Heat
iliary heating will operate - default 25°F (-4.0°C) low.
If outdoor temperature is in-between the high and low
balance point, both the heat pump and auxiliary heat
sources can operate.
