| NORMAN, OK -- York International is taking the wraps off its new "Talking Thermostat," with an EZ Talk feature that guides the homeowner audibly through every step of programming their heating/cooling system thermostat.
If service is required, the thermostat tells homeowners the name and contact information of the dealer or contractor who installed their equipment.
The company believes the product will also appeal to elderly and vision impaired. "Dealers who have previewed the product believe the LCD display will also be an important feature for some customers who are elderly or visually impaired," noted Andy Fracica, York brand marketing manager. "It's a state-of-the-art design, and we are the only manufacturer to offer it."
The thermostat is designed to protect comfort systems with a number of alerts. A low battery warning informs homeowners/tenants when it is time to change the batteries, helping to maintain the efficiency of the system. In the event of power fluctuations, a backup battery system prevents reprogramming after power outages.
The Talking Thermostat will also automatically call for heat at 40 degrees, even if the batteries are dead or not installed. This is a great feature for vacation homes or when the homeowner/tenant is on vacation or away from the house for a long time.
The Talking Thermostat reminds homeowners/tenants when it is time to clean or replace a filter. Another alert reminds homeowners to perform annual maintenance and routine service to keep the system performing at optimum efficiency.
