Carrier Infinity - Emergency Heat Comes On Too Often
We have 2 Carrier Infinity Units and I suspect our installer may not understand them.
When the ambient temperature outside is, say 45, the emergency heat kicks on. And it stays on for a long time. I know because I check the Energy Tracking and there is a lot of usage under "Electric Heat" (as opposed to Heat Pump). I would have thought this would only happen if there is a real disparity between indoor and outdoor temperatures. Our installer says that the only way to fix this is to completely disable the emergency by selecting "heat pump only" in "Heat Source" on the thermostat. Surely that isn't the design of the system, is it? Any suggestions.

Years ago, I did a no cooling call on a split system (natural gas furnace for heat). Took me a lot of head scratching and a call to my old boss to figure out that a cond unit that looks clean can be totally not moving heat. Seen that many, many times since then. -- .. Christopher A.
