Most homeowners use a standard 24V thermostat (like a basic Nest or Honeywell). However, modern high-efficiency systems use Communicating Controls. These don’t just send an “On” signal; they exchange data with the furnace and AC to optimize blower speeds and refrigerant flow. This data-driven approach is the only way to achieve the rated SEER2 efficiency of your equipment.
Do I need a special thermostat for my new heat pump?
If you have a high-efficiency inverter heat pump, a communicating thermostat is highly recommended. It allows the system to fine-tune its performance based on real-time feedback from the outdoor unit.
