Safety temperature

mumado — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 18:59:28 GMT

My thermostat won't let me go above 45 degrees in the heat safety temperature. I live in a manufactured home, and worried that my pipes could freeze if the temperature goes down to 45 degrees in my house. I've tried changing it on both the thermostat and the phone app, and neither will allow it to go above 45 degrees. Is there another way to override this and change it to 60 degrees, so that my pipes won't freeze?

If you want a higher setting, use the Eco setting. You can set eco temps to any value.

Thank you for that answer! We came back after New Year's to 47 degrees in frigid New England. Lucky our pipes didn't burst

But if the inside temp goes below the Eco setting will it send you an alert like the Safety Setting will?

Have the same concern.
