What is emergency heat?
This is where emergency heat comes in.
It typically has an electric resistance heating element that can provide heat even in extremely cold temperatures.
This allows your home to continue to be heated, even when the temperature outside is very low.
How to enable emergency heat on Ecobee?
In Ecobee thermostats, so-called thresholds are responsible for activating emergency heating.
These are the temperatures or conditions at which extra heat turns on.
So lower the thresholds if you should probably turn on the emergency heating.
When should you use emergency heat?
Emergency heat is less efficient than primary heating, so it should only be used when necessary.
When the emergency heat setting is activated, it bypasses the heat pump.
