There is a selectable switch on the thermostat for emergency heat. The heat pump is used all the time unless the temp falls too low or if the heat pump isn't able to supply enough heat for the demand. Then emergency heat is used. The thermostat is smart enough to use emergency heat but it is a mechanical style with levers that you select one temp and it maintains that temp.
I want the option to maintain a different temp during certain hours of the day but it adjust the temp before i get home.
I just want to make sure if I get something it will be able to handle the heat pump appropriately and not burn it up.
