Carrier Unveils New Cor™
Thermostat at Consumer
Electronics Show
Carrier has brought to
the market a smart thermostat fusing the convenience
of smart device remote access
with improved system efficiency. The new Cor design
has a 3.5-inch, full-color
touch screen, and thermostat
responds automatically via
its built-in proximity sensor
and welcomes users with an
intuitive interface. The Cor
thermostat’s
microprocessor executes advanced algorithms for greater efficiency
and comfort.
“The word Cor is Latin
for heart, and we have
designed the Cor thermostat
to be the heart of a smarter
home,” said Matthew Pine,
Carrier marketing director
Through
guided
programming options, homeowners can maintain control
of their home comfort system,
or simply let the Cor thermostat do all the work for them.
The Cor thermostat offers
features like smart setback,
which automatically determines the optimal temperature for home comfort and
energy savings. Wi-Fi®
connectivity, compatible with
802.11 b/g/n wireless routers, allows remote access
to the Cor thermostat from
virtually anywhere. Homeowners can wirelessly control
ACCA Greater Houston
January Meeting and Mixer
temperatures and
energy savings via mobile
and tablet apps. A comprehensive analysis of energy
consumption is available
through the online web
portal.
The Cor thermostat also
provides energy reports,
with detailed system performance data available back
to the installation date. Each
report includes interactive energy-efficiency tips,
providing homeowners the
ability to instantly modify settings for maximum
savings.
The Cor thermostat
works with almost any brand
of home comfort system.
Once installed, the Cor thermostat automatically downloads the latest software via
over-the-air updates. All
timely registered Cor thermostats are backed with a
five-year limited warranty.
