The heat anticipator in the thermostat control circuit in the heating mode is active when the heating contact is closed. This is because the heat anticipator works by using a small resistor to mimic the heat load of the space being heated, and when the heating contact is closed, power flows through the resistor, heating it up and causing the thermostat to shut off the heating system slightly before the desired temperature is reached.
