Gas Heat Override

Note: See section Gas Heat Override Enable/Disable for enabling and disabling this feature.

Gas Heat Override operation is an algorithm for calling for additional stages of heat when the thermostat

determines more are needed. The two escalating stages are shown in Table 5. This logic is disabled when

both stages are not available.

Staging

Heat Source

Stage 1

Heat Pump/Heat Strip

Stage 2

Table 6 shows how Gas Heat Override affects the heat pump and heat strip operational modes when

enabled. This applies to heating cycle calls in auto operational modes as well.
