You might not be able to use it when ever it is
freezing cold.
A heat pump’s emergency setting should only be used when your heat pump stops working properly. If you detect something wrong with your system, you can use the emergency heat setting to keep your home warm while you wait for a __________ technician to arrive.
I hope this helps you

The emergency setting will also essentially shut off your heat pump when a major issue occurs. When components of your heat pump do not work properly.you can use the emergency heat setting heat your home.

Use emergency heat only if your heat pump isn't heating your home at all. That'll keep you warm until a professional heat pump contractor can come repair it.

You should only set your heat pump's thermostat to “emergency heat” when your heat pump stops heating altogether. And in that case, you should also call a professional for help.

When should you use emergency heat?
During an emergency. i.e. when the heat pump is not working. If your heat pump can not keep your house warm, then the auxiliary heating coils (same thing as emergency heat) will come on automatically. If not, then there is a problem with your heating system.
Is it more efficient to use the emergency heat instead of the heat pump when the temperature is in the 30's?
There is still enough heat in the air to run your heat pump when the temp is in the 30,s
What does the EM heat mean on your thermostat for your central AC heating unit?
If you have a heat pump A/C unit then you have auxillary heat and emergency heat. The EM stands for emergency heat, which is using only your electric heat strips or gas heat, depending on your system. The auxillary heat uses your compressor inside of your outside unit. Say the house is 60 degrees inside and you set your stat to 70, the temperature difference is so great that if the heat pump alone cannot satisfy, then the auxillary heat would come on to assist the heat pump. Say you were to get a leak in either your condenser or evaporator coils, your heat pump would not work on the regular heat setting on the tstat. In this circumstance you would want to use just the emergency heat until a service tech can evaluate the system.
When should you use em heat on the thermostat?
EM (or emergency heat) can be used if you have a problem with your other heat source such as a heat pump. In most cases, you will not need this but what it does is bi-passes the primary heat source and allows your secondary heat source (normally your furnace) to become the primary.
Why not just use that energy consumed running the heat pump to run electric heaters inside the house and heat it directly that way?
Heat pump is more efficient. If you use electric heaters, 1 joule of electric energy will produce 1 joule of heat energy. If you use heat pumps, 1 joule of electric energy can pump several joules - perhaps up to 5 or 6, depending on the outside temperature, and the efficiency of the heat pump - of heat, from the outside to the inside.
How do you get your HVAC to pump Heat into the house?
With a normal split system you will have to reclaim refrigerant, install reversing valve, install defrost kit including timer contactor and frost detector. Going to need more control wires to outside and a heat pump thermostat. Going to be a big deal for sure. Go buy a used unit from an installer. If you use gas it's possible your electricla service might need to be increased if you decide to use electric heat as the emergency heat.
Can you use a heat pump just as a air conditioner?
sure why not
Is a programmable thermostat good to use with a heat pump system?
A programmable thermostat works fine with a heat pump. Just remember that a heat pump does not heat as fast as a furnace because of the lower BTU ratings so do not set the thermostat as far back as you normally would. Also make sure to buy a thermostat that has heat pump terminals.
What different types of heat pumps are available for a home?
The most used type of heat pump is the air-source heat pump, which transfers heat between your house and the outside air using conduction. If you heat with electricity, a heat pump can trim the amount of electricity you use for heating by as much as 30% to 40%, even 50%.
What type of thermostat does a heat pump with auxilary heat use?
Any brand or make will work if it is 2 heat 1 cool thermostat
Does a heat pump use gas?
Refrigerant gas. Not natural or propane gas.
What size heat pump for a 18x33x4.5 deep above ground pool?
The size of a heat pump that you can use for a pool which is 18 feet wide by 33 feet long and has a depth of 4.5 feet can vary depending on specific brand of heat pump you wish to purchase. The minimum size of heat pump for an above ground pool of this size in 102,000 BTU.
