| Thermostat Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Digital | The thermostat has a digital interface and the sensing is electronic by thermistor, RTD, or thermocouple. | ||
| Mechanical | The thermostat has a manual interface and the sensing is by bi-metal, gas-actuated, magnetic reed switch, mercury, reed switch, or rod and tube. | ||

| Mechanical Switch Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Bi-Metal | A bi-metal disc or snap action disc is a small metal disc that makes the connection with the circuit inside the device that will open or close once the setpoint temperature is reached. | ||
| Gas - Actuated / Vapor - Tension | Uses a gas/vapor as temperature sensing element, bulb and capillary. | ||
| Reed Switch | Reed switch is a small, sealed switch with two metal strips that touch and close the circuit when a magnet on a bi-metal gets within a range of the switch. | ||
| Mercury | Mercury-controlled thermostat uses a small amount of mercury to measure the temperature. | ||
| Rod & Tube | The rod within the tube will have different temperature expansion coefficients that measure the media. They can be immersed in the media such as water or air. | ||

| Temperature Set Point Range | The temperature range the thermostat can regulate. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Voltage | The voltage that will be used to send the signal to the heating or cooling system. Thermostats generally can use low voltage, 24 volts, with a battery or they can use 120/240 volts. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Temperature Hysteresis | Temperature hysteresis is the range in temperature before the thermostat signals the heating/cooling unit to start the heating or cooling process. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Multiple Zones | The thermostat is capable of regulating the temperature in more than one zone. | ||
| Programmable | The thermostat is capable of being set by the user to a specific temperature at a specific time. There are different timing options including 5-1-1 day, 5-2 day and 7 day. | ||
| Touch Screen | The user interface of the device is a touchscreen. | ||
| WiFi | The thermostat can connect to local WiFi and be controlled through an external device such as a computer, smart phone, or tablet. | ||
