Description
For homeowners who struggle with tiny thermostat screens, the Easy Reader gives them big, high-contrast numbers and simple buttons they can actually see and use. For contractors, it’s a universal 4H/2C stat that can be set up as programmable or non-programmable and works on everything from basic gas furnaces to dual-fuel heat pumps, so one model covers a wide range of replacements.
Key Features & Benefits
Extra-Large, Easy-To-Read Display
Features a 6-square-inch blue backlit screen with oversized characters, designed so older eyes and low-light hallways aren’t fighting tiny numbers.
Universal Staging For Most Systems
Configures for single-stage, multi-stage, or heat pump applications up to 4 Heat / 2 Cool, so you can use one thermostat on conventional equipment, zoning jobs, or two-compressor heat pumps.
Programmable Or Non-Programmable In One Model
Ships in non-programmable mode but can be set to 7-day programmable with a pre-loaded schedule, giving you flexibility to match how the customer actually wants to use their system.
Tri-Power Design With Millivolt Support
Can run on batteries, 24-volt hardwire, or power-stealing assist and is compatible with 24-V and many millivolt systems, which helps on older boilers, zone valves, and retrofit work.
Dual-Fuel And Protection Features Built In
Includes a dual-fuel option that can eliminate the need for a separate fossil-fuel kit, plus keypad lockout, setpoint limits, and filter-change reminders to protect equipment and reduce callbacks.
