Carrier® Cor™ Thermostat Expands Lineup

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 percent when compared to a non-programmable thermostat.¹

"As our initial Côr thermostat offering has increased in capability and grown its customer base, we've been able to further optimize the product's potential," says Matthew Pine, vice president, marketing, Carrier, residential. "Carrier understands the growing demand for smart home products that enhance efficiency and increase convenience and comfort. The introduction of these new Côr thermostats will provide even more homeowners the ability to adopt a smart climate control interface that helps save on their heating and cooling costs."          

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.

"Carrier recognizes homeowners are demanding smarter products that are a seamless part of their everyday life and we have responded with this new lineup of Côr thermostats, building off our legacy of success in the smart home and providing value added features like ease of installation," says Pine. "We will continue to enhance these products to offer customers efficiency, convenience and flexibility in home comfort."
