Carrier announced its next wave of Côr thermostats that will offer homeowners the energy savings, convenience and Carrier expertise of the original Côr thermostat at lower prices. With the introduction of the Côr 5C and Côr 7C thermostats, Carrier will provide a wider range of Wi-Fi-enabled controls at a variety of price points, enabling more homeowners to reduce energy consumption with the convenience and comfort of remote control. The Côr thermostat can reduce home comfort costs by an average of 20% when compared to a non-programmable thermostat. The new Côr thermostats will offer an estimated real-time savings forecast based on adjustments made to the thermostat. Additionally, the improved Smart Setback feature will optimize the system performance based on each home's individual thermal characteristics to enhance energy savings and owner comfort. The next generation of Côr thermostats is demand-response capable and meets the Occupant Controlled Smart Thermostat requirements set by the California Energy Commission. They will also feature compatibility with Amazon Echo, Apple HomeKit and other popular connected home systems. All of these features will be available in a device with multi-color touch screens, an app-based set-up and a two-wire installation system that ensures compatibility across the majority of home climate control systems.
