Emerson Thermostats Help Contractors
Fill Home Technology Gap.
New Emerson 80 Series thermostats offer high-end
standard features and easy installation.

Forty percent of home thermostats are more than five years
old according to a survey of homeowners conducted by Emerson
(NYSE: EMR). With the rapid development of the thermostat
market in the last five years, these homes are now in a
technology gap that contactors can help fill with Emerson’s
new 80 Series thermostat line.
“Contractors have a great opportunity to show new options to
homeowners whose thermostats are behind the times and not
offering the accuracy and quality display you can find in
our 80s Series thermostats,” said Ed Blittschau, vice
president marketing, White-Rodgers, Emerson Commercial &
Residential Solutions.
“While 40 percent of the homeowners Emerson surveyed had
dated thermostats, nearly 15 percent of those were more than
10 years old. Think about how much this technology has
improved in the past decade and what a great opening this
presents for contractors,”. |

that cover every service call, including:

Easy installation
and set-up featuring a built-in level indicator and intuitive
menus that are consistent across all models.
-
A modern design
with large, clutter-free displays that make it easier for
homeowners to use.

for each programmable model, allowing the user to choose 7 Day,
5+1+1, 5+2 or non-programmable modes.
-
Options like
keypad lockout, temperature limits and other professional grade
features on all models.

performance with certified accuracy to plus or minus one degree
The thermostat options
are designed to help HVAC professionals select the right application
for each customer. The standard universal model also controls up to
four stages of heating and two stages of cooling. Use of this
thermostat can reduce inventory with a baseline model that provides
staging, auto-changeover and the most advanced features in the
industry. The heat pump model is preconfigured for heat pump
systems, with logic-based algorithms to control staging—even dual
fuel systems are managed automatically, without an outdoor sensor.
The 80 Series also includes a conventional, single-stage model that
includes the same updated design and large, bright display with the
advanced features every home should have.
The new 80 Series thermostats are currently available at wholesale
locations nationwide. For more information visit
