Our Easy To Use Electronic Thermostats Set The Stage For Comfort.

The final component of a heating and air conditioning system is of course the thermostat that controls your home’s comfort. And, unlike the other parts of your system — the furnace or air handler in the attic, and the air conditioner or heat pump in the backyard—it’s something you come into contact with everyday. That’s why our complete line of thermostats are not only easy to use, they’re also easy on the eye. With simple, easy to use features, and an attractive, streamlined design, our thermostats put you in control of your comfort with the touch of a button.

A Programmable Thermostat Conserves Energy and Saves You Money.

Our programmable thermostats were designed to maximize the performance of our home comfort systems with reliable, accurate temperature control. And, because you can program them to raise or lower the temperature when you’re not home, they also save energy while still maintaining your standard of comfort. In fact, during the winter you can save about 3 percent of your heating costs for every degree you lower your thermostat. During the summer, you can cut your cooling costs up to 4 percent for every degree you raise your thermostat. All you have to do is plan your family’s schedule for the week, follow your thermostat’s simple programming instructions, and then reap the benefits of lower energy costs and enhanced comfort.

Programming Your Comfort Around Your Lifestyle Is Easy To Do.

With our programmable thermostats, you start by simply programming your weekday requirements—when you wake, when you leave the house, the time you return home, the time you go to sleep, and the temperature you want at each of those times. Of course your schedule will differ on weekends. Most of our electronic thermostats take this into consideration, and will let you program accordingly. However, even after you’ve set your thermostat you still have flexibility. You can temporarily change a program if your schedule suddenly changes, and you can update as needed.

Our electronic thermostats can also be operated manually, as well, without canceling the regular program. Ease of use, flexibility, energy savings, and an attractive design, programmable thermostats keep you in touch with your heating and air conditioning system and your family’s comfort.

Overall Comfort with a Thermostat

Temperature Control (Thermostats & Zoned Comfort Control Systems)

Thermostats control not only your home's heating and cooling, but your overall comfort. Few homeowners spend much time thinking about thermostats and which one is right for their home. But perhaps they should, because a properly designed thermostat can do much more than just turn your heating and cooling system on and off. And while you usually think of thermostats as just controlling your home’s temperature — at Aprilaire, we view thermostats as your easy-to-use command center that lets you control and customize your entire home’s comfort experience.

Enhanced comfort and energy savings is just a thermostat away.

What is the single easiest way to get higher performance from your existing heating and cooling system while lowering your home's overall energy costs? Simply install a Programmable Thermostat. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a programmable thermostat can save you up to 30% on energy costs annually.

But if you're interested in getting the very best in temperature control for every room in your home, A Zoned Comfort Control system is your answer. Instead of using just one thermostat for your entire home, a Zoned Comfort Control system uses multiple thermostats to ensure optimum temperature levels and total comfort in every room of your home.

That’s why we created an entire family of digital thermostats to meet just about any home’s specific needs. Constructed with the latest technology and filled with Aprilaire innovation, these thermostats give you entirely new levels of control over your heating and cooling system and your overall home comfort.

Zoned Temperature Control

One room too hot while another is too cold? Not with Zoned Comfort Control. Do you turn on all the lights in your entire home with just one light switch? Of course not. You turn on lights when and where you need them. A Zoned Comfort Control system extends this simple, energy-saving concept to home temperature control.

The only place where the temperature matches the thermostat is at the thermostat. Different areas of your house have different temperature needs as do individual family members. What may be cool to one member may be warm to another. Heat rises up, leaving the main floor cool and second floor bedrooms hot. Cool air settles into the basement. Windows to the south soak up the sun making certain rooms uncomfortably hot, while northerly winds may make some rooms feel too cool.

Add some of today’s most desired home design features, and the problem gets worse. Large glass expanses, vaulted or cathedral ceilings, finished basements, solariums, lofts — they all can cause temperatures to vary dramatically from one part of a house to the next. Expecting one thermostat in a single room to control temperature variations throughout your home is asking the impossible. A Zoned Comfort Control system increases comfort by controlling specific temperature needs in designated areas of your home — making you and your family more comfortable while saving money by using less energy for heating and cooling needs.

What is Zoned Comfort Control?

Aprilaire Zoned Comfort Control is a system of more than one thermostat, electrically connected to a control panel which operates a number of dampers in your forced air heating/cooling system. Conditioned air is then distributed to various parts of your home as needed. The system can be installed in new or existing homes helping you achieve total indoor comfort. Plus there is no service required — only changes in living habits may make it necessary for system adjustments from time to time. “Zone heating and cooling is [also] used in some homes. This allows you to reduce the heating and cooling to an unused part of your home, and can substantially reduce your energy bills.”

Why Do I Need It?

You need Zoned Comfort Control in your home if one or more of these conditions exist:

• It contains more than one level
• There are large, open areas such as vaulted ceilings or lofts, an atrium or a solarium
• There is a bonus room off the back or over the garage
• There are finished rooms in the basement or attic
• It has a room or rooms with expansive glass areas
• Family lifestyles dictate different temperatures in different areas of the home
• Heating and cooling temperature patterns vary at different times of the day
• A portion of the home is built over a concrete slab floor
• Your home rambles in many directions like a ranch or has wings extending off the main living area

If there are areas in your home that have cooler or warmer rooms and uneven temperatures which cause discomfort for you or family members, a Zoned Comfort Control system is your answer.

AccuTemp Heating and Cooling, Inc. can help provide a solution for you and your family's comfort level.
