Thermostats

A thermostat is the interface between you and the heating and cooling systems in your home. Through your thermostat, you are able to control when specific rooms should be warmer or cooler and make sure that each room is comfortable for you. A wide variety of thermostats are available including Honeywell thermostats, programmable thermostats, non-programmable thermostats, and more. If you aren't sure which thermostat is best for your home, read our FAQs or view the comparison charts to learn more about which thermostat is best for you.

• What are stages for a thermostat? What does 2H/2C mean?

  The number of stages refers to the number of heating or cooling sources that can be controlled by a single thermostat. For example, if a system contains baseboard heat, a hot air system, and air conditioning then there are two heating stages, and one cooling stage. In this example, a thermostat that can control two-heat and one cool stage should be selected. It is important to note that if you have auxiliary heat (or backup heat), that counts as a second heating source. 2H/2C means the thermostat has two heat and two cooling stages. You can purchase a thermostat with more heating or cooling sources available than what you will use, but you cannot purchase a thermostat with fewer stages than what you have. For example, if you have two heating stages and one cooling stage, a 2H/2C thermostat is fine, but a 1H/1C thermostat will not work.

• What is the advantage of using a programmable thermostat?

  Programmable thermostats offer a high level of control. These units are highly energy efficient and allow you to save money on heating and cooling bills. For example, if no one will be in a given space from 9am to 5pm, a programmable thermostat can be set to lower the temperature at 9 am and bring it back up at 4:30pm, so the space reaches a comfortable temperature before you return. In contrast, a non-programmable thermostat may either be left on during this time period, wasting energy and money, or left off, meaning that you get home to an uncomfortably hot or cold room.
