Can I use a regular thermostat with an E-Flex
Overview:
No, a regular 24VAC output thermostat will not work properly with an E-Flex (Variable compressor) unit. The system may seem to control but it could be sporadic and unreliable. This will also lead to a loss of compressor and indoor fan variability which can lead to a loss of temperature and humidity control. This includes Precedent and Voyager units.
