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.


How do you write a letter to electric department about your electric meter not working?

If you think there is a discrepancy in the meter reading, phone the utility company. It is there responsibility to come out and check to make sure that the readings are correct. It falls within the consumer protection act and weights and measures act that the tolerance of their measuring equipment is to be within the specified tolerances allowed by governmental departments.

Where does heat come from in the winter?

outside= the sun, radiation from buildings which have the heating on (see snow melt on roofs which have the heating on and no loft insulation), body warmth inside= central heating, fire


What is the best thing to use for heating repairs?

Depending on what is wrong with your heating system it is hard to say. I would get a licensed professional to come out and do an inspection on the system, and go from there.


Do I need a contractor to come out and check my heating system and let me know the cost of it?

You don't necessarily need a contractor to find out what is wrong with it. Look for a Air and Heating company in your area to come check it out. A contractor would be more expensive.


How does radiant heating compare in price to traditional methods?

By spending a bit more up front with radient heating which heats from the ground up you will be seeing the difference in your electric bill and saving money in the years to come.


How do you program a central heating timer?

Every central heating system will be equipped with a programmer or time switch that will turn the heat on and off at the times you decide. Every system is different and should come with instructions. If you are missing these you should contact the company directly and they should advise you on what steps to take.


Heat blows cold on drivers side and hot on pagengers side what is wrong?

The heating direction doors can be stuck into a certain position. The heating direction door might be closed, not allowing warm air to come to the drivers side.


When a single burner on a range will not come on how do you see what is wrong?

You should call an appliance service technician if you are not comfortable in performing the following task. What you check is determined whether you have a gas or electric range. If a gas burner does not come on, the pilot light might have quit burning. Air out the room before lighting a match to ignite the pilot light. For an electric range, you could replace the heating element with one as nearly the same size. If it warms, you will need to replace the bad heating element. You will need the make, model and serial number to purchase or order a replacement. If it doesn't warm, call a technician.


Why did microwave room heaters never come into use?

Microwave room heaters were not widely adopted due to safety concerns related to electromagnetic radiation, potential fire hazards, and higher energy consumption compared to other heating methods. Additionally, the widespread availability of more efficient and cost-effective heating options, such as electric heaters and central heating systems, contributed to the limited popularity of microwave room heaters.


Does heat energy come from man or nature?

It can come from man (air heating,gas heating,ect.) and it can come from nature (the sun)


What are the different types of heating pads available on the market and how do they differ in terms of features and effectiveness?

There are three main types of heating pads available on the market: electric heating pads, microwavable heating pads, and chemical heating pads. Electric heating pads are powered by electricity and can provide consistent and adjustable heat levels. They are reusable and often come with features like automatic shut-off timers and adjustable temperature settings. Microwavable heating pads are filled with materials like rice or flaxseed that can be heated in the microwave. They are convenient and portable, but may not provide as consistent heat as electric pads. Chemical heating pads use a chemical reaction to generate heat when activated. They are disposable and convenient for on-the-go use, but may not last as long as other types of heating pads. In terms of effectiveness, electric heating pads are generally considered the most effective for providing consistent and adjustable heat therapy. Microwavable pads are convenient but may not retain heat as long, while chemical pads provide quick heat but are not reusable.


What would the water temperature be in a central heating unit if it was a model for electricity?

I'm not sure of your question.In the USA, most hot water heaters and furnaces are independent units. They can be either gas (methane) or electric powered. The hot water heaters are thermostatically controlled, and thus the water temperatures in the gas and electric water heaters would be essentially the same. The speed at heating the water depends on the HW heater design, but both gas and electric HW heaters would be similar in speed.I've heard of combined Hot water heaters and furnaces in use in Russia, with the side effect of only having hot water in the winter.Here in the USA, electric furnaces come in 2 varieties. Heat Pumps function somewhat like an air conditioning unit, and deal with heat differentials. In mild temperatures, they are more efficient than direct electric heating. However, the temperature increase is relatively moderate. It is likely they could only heat water to a "luke-warm" temperature.Using conventional electric heating, the electric heating elements can become extremely hot. Think of your stove with temperatures in excess of 400 degrees F. However, the actual temperature of water would be dependent on the design.I would encourage consulting the manufacturer of the device you are interested in with any device specific questions.
