Comments about Aprilaire Model 8600 Universal Touchscreen Thermostat:
This therm replaced a Robert Shaw unit for my heat pump. IT offers FAR more control over the system. The old one would shut down in single digits and blow cold air and we would have to manually set to the aux emergency heat. You can set the Aprilaire to shut down and switch at a selectable degree, that and other features make it great.

Comments about Aprilaire Model 8600 Universal Touchscreen Thermostat:
This thermostat has a nice display that isn't very difficult to figure out. For the price it seems like a great deal for all that it is capable of doing!! I would certainly recommend this thermostat. On another note, I did call tech support one time, and they were quick to answer and quite helpful.
