1. A method of heating a component within a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system comprising:
maintaining a non-heating condition of the HVAC system component when the HVAC system component is in a non-operational state;
determining when the HVAC system component will switch from the non-operational state to an operational state, the determination based on a threshold parameter being met; and
operating a heating device from the non-heating condition to a heating condition to heat the HVAC system component from a temperature to a target temperature suitable for the operational state of the HVAC system component;
wherein determining when the HVAC system component will switch from the non-operational state to the operational state comprises monitoring ambient temperature of the environment surrounding the HVAC system component relative to a known lockout temperature threshold of the heating system.
