Equipment Stage Control helps your HVAC system operate more efficiently by managing the use of different heating and cooling stages. When Equipment Stage Control is enabled, your thermostat gradually decreases operation from higher stages as it nears the desired temperature:
- The HVAC system begins running in Stage 1.
- If the temperature difference exceeds the threshold, Stage 2 activates for additional heating/cooling.
- Once the temperature approaches the setpoint, Stage 2 disengages, and Stage 1 continues running until the setpoint is reached.
This process optimizes comfort while conserving energy.
