Carrier’s newest addition to its connected controls portfolio improves homeowner connectivity at a lower price point. The 24V thermostat, launching commercially as the Carrier Smart Thermostat, makes its builder debut at the International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas.
The Carrier Smart Thermostat was developed with homeowner needs and preferences in mind, including a clean, contemporary design. The unit supports accessories, integrates with smart home systems, and comes with an optional 5-year warranty once connected, or a 2-year warranty out of the box. Additionally, based on feedback from homebuilders and dealers around the country, Carrier launched the smart thermostat to:
- Install quickly and easily using a C-wire adaptor to work with 4-wire systems.
- Minimize start-up delays with fast-access QR codes and instructions.
- Offer total homeowner control with various modes to select from both at the unit and via their Carrier Home App.
- Visibly represent thermostat functions through a display readable in low and full light conditions.
“Our patent-pending installation design coupled with tool-free wire connections and staggered terminal connectors provides easy install, removal, and access to the control panel for servicing later,” says Nick Arch, vice president and general manager, residential HVAC, Carrier. “We’re pleased to offer our customers a smart thermostat with competitive zoning capabilities and accessory support that meets their needs at a competitive price. The Carrier Smart Thermostat is a win-win for installers, dealers, and homeowners everywhere.”
Units will begin shipping in Q2 of 2024.
