Emergency Heat

**Emergency Heat**

Emergency Heat is a backup heating system used in heat pump-equipped HVAC units. It activates when the primary heat pump is unable to efficiently warm your home, such as during extremely cold weather or if the heat pump malfunctions. Typically, Emergency Heat relies on electric resistance or a secondary heating source to provide immediate warmth and maintain indoor comfort until the main system is restored. Understanding when and how to use Emergency Heat can help optimize your heating system’s performance and energy efficiency.
