Electric auxiliary heating is a common function of air conditioners. Many netizens, when purchasing air conditioners, see a button for electric auxiliary heat on the remote control. This so-called electric auxiliary heat is an auxiliary heating function. PTC heating tube is installed on the radiator inside the indoor unit. The electric auxiliary heating works as an auxiliary function, mainly to quickly heat the air conditioner in winter. Air conditioners generally have automatic electric auxiliary heat and manual electric auxiliary heat on the remote control. The electric auxiliary heat does not keep heating once turned on; it has temperature control. It automatically adjusts according to the indoor temperature. When the temperature reaches a certain level, it automatically turns off, and when the temperature is low, it automatically turns on. Electric auxiliary heat uses PTC technology to heat, which uses electricity to increase indoor temperature. PTC is a semiconductor heating ceramic. When the external temperature is low, the resistance of PTC decreases, and the heat output increases accordingly. Air conditioners use this technology to provide auxiliary heating based on room temperature. This function is suitable for severe winters, especially in the northeastern regions of China where the cold is extreme. Turning on the electric auxiliary heat helps the air conditioner raise the temperature quickly. Generally, electric auxiliary heat takes some time to reach a specific temperature. For small rooms, the heating time is short and can reach the ideal temperature quickly. For example, in a room of about 5 square meters, the ideal temperature can be reached within 3 minutes. Or in southern regions where the temperature is not very low, electric auxiliary heat can quickly reach a suitable temperature and then turn off, so it does not consume much electricity. However, air conditioners usually need more than 3 minutes to start electric auxiliary heat. In large rooms or severe winters, electric auxiliary heat generally consumes a certain amount of electricity, so turning it on definitely consumes more electricity than not turning it on. 2. Does the air conditioner electric auxiliary heat need to be turned on manually? Generally, the electric auxiliary function can be divided into automatic and manual activation. Some air conditioners automatically turn on electric auxiliary heat based on temperature, while others require you to set the electric auxiliary heat function. 3. Is electric auxiliary heat good? Electric auxiliary heat has a significant effect in rapid heating. For example, when the indoor temperature is low and you want to quickly raise the temperature, using the air conditioner's electric auxiliary heat can achieve rapid indoor temperature increase. So its rapid heating function is helpful for those who need it. However, electric auxiliary heat should not be kept on all the time. When the indoor temperature reaches a suitable level, it is recommended to turn it off. Keeping the electric auxiliary heat on all the time will make the indoor air dry, which is uncomfortable when using the air conditioner in winter.
