I’ve had a few dual fuel heat pumps with gas as the emergency heat source.
I Replaced the all electric Heat Pump in our current home last year and stayed with all electric, with the strips for back up heat and believe I have an issue.
It will not transfer over to emergency heat unless you bump the thermostat 2 degrees up.
even when in the 20’s, like today, it just runs on regular heat. It will run for well over an hour at times maintaining temp but does not cycle much.
In my pervious home, there was a predetermind temperature, I believe it was 34 degrees, that when outside temps dropped below it ran on emergency heat only until outside temp rose above 34 degrees.
has technology changed recently or is there an issue with an ancient temp sensor?
