6025 Features

This thermostat can be used with all millivolt and 24VAC heating and cooling systems. It cannot be used with line voltage systems. This thermostat is digital and your desired heat or cool temperatures can easily be set on the large screen with the + / – dial. A minimum 4 minute off time protects heating and cooling systems from damage.

This thermostat uses a new technique called sequential staging for more comfort with faster reaction to requested temperature changes when controlling 2 stage systems.
