These items have a check box ( ) for your installer to indicate which features are used in your system. As an EPA ENERGY STAR Partner, Home Automation, Inc. has determined that this thermostat meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
ABOUT HEAT PUMPS... A heat pump is a mechanical refrigeration system that operates in two modes, heating and cooling. In cooling mode, the heat pump takes indoor heat and pumps it outside, just like a standard air conditioner. In heating mode, the process is reversed: the heat pump takes outside heat and pumps it inside.
ENERGY EFFICIENT CONTROL Using the programmable or remote control features of your thermostat, you can save energy costs by setting back the thermostat during unoccupied times. This reduces the energy loss from indoors to outdoors. In the past, it has been said that heat pumps should not be set back because it takes more energy to re-heat the premises than to keep it at the same temperature.
OPERATION To take advantage of all the benefits and features offered by your thermostat, we recommend that you start by becoming familiar with its operation. 1- Display The Display is used to show current time, temperature, outdoor temperature (optional), mode, and to give useful information that will guide you through normal operation of your thermostat.
