EMHeat is nothing more than emergency heat which are the electric resistance heat strips. The goal of your heat system should be to use these strips as little as possible for it is very costly when they kick in. When you use the heat or heat pump, yes you will get warm air flowing through your vents but this setting will automatically kick in the electric heat strips when needed. It is not advisable to be using the EMHEAT setting on a routine basis.
