Hi,
First time posting here :)
I have an HVAC, brand name Daikin, model DZ16TC0241. On my ecobee thermostat I get the message that my auxiliary heating is working for too long. I googled it, and it seems to be the settings on my thermostat that I need to change to avoid this. I can't find the settings for my HVAC. This is what I found when I googled, but I don't know what to do next. Can anyone guide me? I'm a single mom, and I don't know much about heat pumps. Thank you!
Question:
We have a heat pump and recently installed an ecobee thermostat. Now I keep on getting alerts that the Aux heat is running. It does seem to be kicking in frequently instead of normal heat and got an alert that my "Aux Heat was running for more than 180 minutes". What could be the problem?
Answer:
There is a setting in your "thresholds" section that you can change; most likely it is set to default at the moment which relies on the feedback of your heatpump system and how long it takes to warm up the home. Some heatpumps can take longer than others to warm up and finally start giving heat. In these cases you can manually enter a higher differential to avoid the auxiliary heat coming on for a certain time or temperature difference (it is up to you what value you would like to keep it at). I would recommend to set a value for these thresholds first and that should eliminate the aux heat turning on sooner than needed.
This can be done by going to MENU > SETTINGS > INSTALLATION SETTINGS > THRESHOLDS > COMP TO AUX DELTA. Now this 'COMP TO AUX DELTA' option is asking for how many degrees the indoor temperature should drop before using the auxiliary heat.
