Can I use a Filtrete (TM) Thermostat from 3M with a Zoned forced air heating and cooling system?
Yes, most zoned forced are systems have a master control board which controls the baffles in the forced air system to allow heat or cool into the areas calling for it. This allows different areas of the house to be at different temperatures as a function of that area’s own thermostat using a single heating and cooling system. The selection of heat or cool is made by the master controller. If you wish to use Filtrete (TM) Thermostat from 3Ms at the remotes you must remember to make sure all thermostats are in the same mode ether heat or cool. Some zoned forced are systems master controllers use both B and O and some use just one of the letters. Be sure it is a forced air zoned system before connecting both the O and B. Some of the brands of zoned forced air controllers are Durazone, Trol-A -Temp and Comfort Zone.
