Question about Honeywell Electronic Programmable Heat/Cool Thermostat - CT3300A100 Heater

Thermostat says ''Aux heat on'' and buzzes when we turn on heat

We have a honeywell thermostat. When we turn the heat on, the words, "heat on" blinks. Then, we hear a buzzing sound, sort of like an alarm and the panel on the thermostat says, "aux heat on".
Ideas???

    I have a RUUD that has started buzzing incessantly. I do have a heat pump, and it is working. I'm not having the issue with the aux heat light, but the buzzing at the thermostat itself is loud and distracting. I've gone in and tightened all the screws, but no help. Do I just need to replace the unit?

You most likely have a heat pump, the aux heat (usually electric) comes on anytime the room temperature is 4 degrees below the thermostat setting. Does the buzz go off when the aux heat lite goes out? If the aux heat does not shut off then the primary heater (heat pump) is not putting out enough heat to satisfy the thermostat. I need a little more info. Do you have a heat pump? Is it working?

Sounds like it could be a effiency function to warn you that the heat elements are on. Check your thermostat manual and see if you can turn this feature off. If this is not a feature then the thermostat may be wired wrong or something in the circuit may be trying to short out.

I have a honeywell thermostat that does not have an emergency setting. what can i do?
I have yet to see a thermostat for a heat pump (guessing it's what you have) that doesn't have emergency heat. It's usually listed as AUX.
If you bump the heat up 10degrees you will probably see a light come on which indicates 'AUX/emergency' heat.
Be sure to turn it back down.
Listing the thermostat model might help someone give a more definite answer.

Removed my non programable Honeywell RT 5220D replaced it with a Honeywell RTH6350D to run my Goodman Heat Pump. First I labeled the wires then connected wires as follows: AUX, G, C, O/B (orange wire)...
Leave the factory jumper between R & RC. Connect the wires to the new stat just as you have them labeled. Use a piece of thermostat wire to make a jumper from AUX to E terminals. Your new thermostat should give you instructions on how to access the installer set up. You are going to set it up as heat pump with aux. I see this is 2 days old but if you need any help let me know.

I Googled the user manual for your thermostat. It says to install a jumper between E and Aux if there is no emergency heat relay. Here is a link to the manual. Look on page 5, line 5.

Honeywell Thermostat
Make sure G from indoor unit goes to G on thermostat for fan continous fan, if that doesn't work and you have 24 volts to R and C then the t'stat is bad.
For 2nd stage heat or aux.heat, on the indoor unit you need to make sure the wire W2 from the indoor unit goes to W2 on t'stat.
You don't need any wires from W1on the indoor unit to W1 at the t'stat because with a York heat pump Y1 is the contactor which turns the compressor on and you will get 1st stage heat, and for cooling the t'stat will also bring on O which is the (reversing valve) or cooling changeover relay for the cooling mode.
C = common usually black wire
R = hot usually red wire
Y or Y1 = contactor
W1 = 1st stage heat not needed for heat pump
W2 = Aux. heat indoor heat
G = fan
O = Cooling changeover relay
B = Heating changeover relay
L = System monitor
E = Emergency heat relay
