• Remote energy management thermostat: Monitor your HVAC system from your phone, tablet, or PC.

• Programmable thermostat: Most efficient because they adjust temperature automatically when you are home or not.
“…Choose Whatever Serves Your Needs Best!”
Why Is My Thermostat Not Getting Power?
• Step One: Check your circuit breaker that controls the furnace and AC. Make sure it is tripped, turn it back on and see if it functions.
• Step Two: Should step one not fix the problem, check the power switch on the side of the HVAC unit. Make sure it is in “ON” position.
• Step Three: Step one and two didn’t work? Check batteries on your thermostat. Even with some juice left in them, some batteries might need to be replaced for your thermostat to function.
• Step Four: Still no luck? Last thing to do is to use a multitester to check if your unit is getting enough current (volts).
