Can a Nest Thermostat Work with Emergency Heat?
Nest thermostats are smart thermostats that can be programmed to automatically adjust the temperature of your home. They can also be controlled remotely using a smartphone app. Emergency heat is a feature that allows the Nest thermostat to bypass its normal programming and set the temperature to a safe level in the event of a power outage or other emergency.
The Nest thermostat can work with emergency heat. However, it is important to note that emergency heat is not a permanent solution. It is only meant to be used as a temporary measure until the power can be restored. Emergency heat can also use a lot of energy, so it is important to only use it when necessary.
How to activate emergency heat on a Nest thermostat:
- Open the Nest app on your smartphone.
- Tap on the thermostat you want to control.
- Tap on the "Settings" gear icon.
- Scroll down and tap on "Emergency Heat."
- Toggle the switch to the "On" position.
The Nest thermostat will now maintain a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit until the power is restored.
