Totaline sales centers launch new thermostat line

SYRACUSE, N.Y., Feb. 1, 2009 – Totaline sales associates are excited to announce that as of Feb. 16, 2009, an entirely new generation of thermostats will be added to their product line-up. The new thermostat line has been developed as part of the Totaline partnership with Honeywell®, and most of the models will be available immediately, with two models coming later in the spring of 2009.

“We have developed a four-tier offering of thermostats,” Totaline Category Manager John Loeffler said. “In each tier, we have programmable and non-programmable, as well as single-stage and multi-stage.”

The new thermostat lineup includes 15 models which are categorized as Basic, Easy, Smart, Deluxe, and Commercial. HVAC/R techs can compare their favorite thermostat models to the following affordable Totaline thermostat offerings:

• Totaline Basic 1H/1C, non-programmable;
• Totaline Basic 1H/1C, programmable;
• Totaline Basic 2H/1C, non-programmable;

• Totaline Deluxe 3H/2C, programmable;
• Totaline Commercial 2H/2C, programmable.

This brand-new line of Totaline thermostats will feature an innovative new look, according to Loeffler. “The entire family of thermostats will have its own unique appearance” he said. “They'll have a sleek, new, bold design, exclusive to Totaline.”

In addition to their stream-lined features, Loeffler also said that the new thermostats will be value priced, while maintaining high quality and dependability. “This is a powerful new line of thermostats,” he stated, adding that the line offers benefits to both the HVAC/R professional and the customers they serve.

“The techs will benefit from the price advantage, the warranty, and fewer callbacks,” Loeffler said. He added that additionally, through the partnership between Totaline and Honeywell, there will be full training support available. And, aside from the benefits to HVAC/R techs, Loeffler said that the new line-up provides ease of use for the homeowner as well.

Loeffler said that this new thermostat line is only the beginning of what will be offered as a result of partnership between Honeywell and Totaline. “The Totaline thermostat line will continue to grow,” he said. “This is not a static set of thermostats – this line will continue to evolve.”

And, the new line of Totaline thermostats just made getting FREE STUFF even easier.
