All About Carrier Cor Thermostats

February 26, 2016

You might have heard of a recently developed technological innovation called a Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat, which lets you control your home’s temperature with commands sent through your Internet modem. One of the best examples of this new temperature control technology is the Cor thermostat from Carrier. Here’s a rundown of some of the main features of this device.

Wi-Fi-Enabled Thermostat Basics

All of the Wi-Fi-enabled devices you commonly use (including your smartphones, computers and tablets) connect to the Web through an Internet protocol (IP) component that sends and receives wireless Internet signals. A Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat works through the same type of setup. It allows you to remotely control your thermostat and (in some cases) carry out a number of additional tasks and commands. The range of available actions varies according to the specific type of thermostat you buy.

The Carrier Cor Thermostat’s Main Features

The Carrier Cor features a color touch screen that issues context-specific prompts and instructions during use. You can use this screen or your smartphone, tablet or computer to do such things as program your household temperature settings for the next seven days, create single-step commands that change multiple temperature settings at once, and “tell” the thermostat to adjust temperatures on its own as indoor conditions change. In addition, you can set a fixed heating/cooling schedule and sync the device with other Carrier heat and humidity control systems.

Using the Cor Apps

Carrier lets you use a selection of custom apps to wirelessly control the Cor thermostat. This selection includes separate app versions designed specifically for Apples and Windows computer users, as well as Android and iOS smartphone and tablet users. Each version lets you access the thermostat in a technology setting you’re already familiar with.

Adaptability to Your Current System

Homes throughout America contain a broad range of heating and cooling systems. The Cor thermostat is designed to integrate smoothly with a very high percentage of these systems. This built-in adaptability greatly eases the process of connecting the thermostat to your current heating/cooling setup.

Thermostat Updates

Like many Wi-Fi-enabled devices, the Carrier Cor can easily receive manufacturer updates that add new functions or iron out any significant bugs. The Cor adds to your convenience by automating the update process and ensuring that you have the latest software version installed.

Installation

The Cor thermostat is designed for professional installation by an HVAC specialist. A professional installation ensures that your new thermostat will work properly from the beginning and immediately enhance your household comfort and convenience.

Shawn F. was lovely, respectful and on time. Brody Pennell was referred to me by my brother and I appreciate the great referral!----This is my 2nd review. I had my HVAC serviced yesterday and replaced today! Brett Turner and his team yesterday were professional and advised me that my unit was not going to last much longer. They showed me the problems and a new unit just made sense. They squeezed me in today, their team was at my door at 8am and the crane was here shortly after since my unit is on my roof. Frank T., Pascual H., Jesus F. and Joshua M. were all respectful and left the property as nicely as they entered. 5 Star service and made me feel like an important customer.

James H. and David E. are incredible professionals. It’s hard to exceed expectations in terms of customer care from Brody Pennell, but James H. and David E. have done it! The semiannual inspection of my HVAC system was very thorough, and they went through every single finding, explaining its meaning. They were also courteous and respectful, and left the areas they worked in cleaner than they were before they came. I’m so impressed with them!

Christian, Alex, Jose and Diego installed a new unit in our place last week. We're happy with their work. It took some time, but everything was well organized and went smooth. It makes sense to notify your neighbors about possible noise and crew working on the roof, especially if the crane is involved.

This is a class "A" team.. Alessandro A, Rafael B, Rosendo V and Brian G... The team was knowledgeable, punctual, professional and high performing. They worked as one unit and removed and installed a 3.5 ton system seamlessly. I would be remiss is I didn't mention the Crane Driver, he is amazing !!!.Alessandro took the time to address additional concerns that my tenant had and even returned to take care of the breaker that tripped.If you need a HVAC system replaced, I would not only use Brody Penell, but request this team!!!Thank you, TEAM A ( Alessandro, Rafael, Rosendo and Brian).

Our HVAC system was serviced by your technicians Leo H. and Tristen. We were texted to let us know they were on the way and arrived promptly. They were very pleasant, worked rapidly, cleanly and efficiently, and did a most thorough assessment of our system. They then told us in detail all that had been done to service our system and made some recommendations about additional service. It would be our pleasure to have them return to service our system in the future.

Terrific service, very thorough and professional. Steven Juanes was friendly, clear and meticulous in inspecting and servicing our heating/cooling units. He explained everything in great detail and advised us about further maintenance without pressuring us to get it done. We have a two mini-split units which can be really tricky to work on, but Steven was ultra-knowledgable and took extra time to work on the roof venting/connections. Look no further, this company always delivers excellent service!
