Code 110 — Low Indoor Temperature Alert: Zone 8 Allowing Aux Heat

Carrier · Residential HVAC Systems

What does 110 mean?

This alert indicates that Zone 8 is experiencing low indoor temperatures and the system is allowing auxiliary heating to engage to try and reach the setpoint. This could mean the primary heat source isn't keeping up.

Common Causes

  • Outdoor temperatures are extremely low
  • Thermostat setting in Zone 8 is too high for the primary heating capacity
  • Poor insulation or air leaks in Zone 8
  • Malfunction of the primary heating system (e.g., heat pump)
