I really liked my Honeywell 3500, but that is only 1 stage 'stat. Thanks!
I don't have a 2 stage furnace, but the above implies that the themostats are made for ONE or TWO stage furnaces.
Are thermostats made for ONE or TWO stage furnaces ??
TIA
Yes, 2 stages and more! Get into commercial work and muti-staged stats are common, of course there is mutiple staged equipment too. Greg
Can 2-stage stats be found at retail, a la Lowe's or Home Depot? I was looking over a bunch today and there was nary a one at Lowe's that specifically stated "2 stage".

They sell one Honeywell that is a real POS that is 2 stage. I dont have a clue why you would go there to buy one, since if it does not work right, there is no support...the prices are stupid compared to what you get...and the local big box stores have all but killed any returns, since
90% of the time its NOT the stat that is a problem..
Probably closer to 99%. It's like blaming the switch if your light bulb doesn't work.

I did find a Honeywell on the web, I believe it was an 8000 model (likely not the exact number) for 109.99. The description sounded like it would do everything but walk the dog and lock up the house for the night! =8) Unfortunately, it also said it needed a remote unit that sold for 134.99 so $245 and change for this combo. Plus, it definitely did NOT look like something the average DIY person could install.
It was the only one listed that was 2 stage heat/one stage cool, which I assumed would be the correct one for a furnace/central air combo.
Guess I'll check with the contractor when he shows up on Monday.
Hi Conase, hope you are having a nice day

Yes, if you have a two stage system you are better off with a two stage thermostat.

I don't think they do. I have never seen a 2 stage stat sold anywhere other than an hvac supply house.
