infinity control question

[thompsing]

It's the time of year where wife has the ac on in the afternoon or night and never manually switches over to heat for the next brisk morning.

Was hoping it was more like climate control in a car where as the temperature could dictate whether the furnace or ac runs... Even our vision pro 8000 needs to be switched over, more times than not it's cold in the morning because the stat wasn't manually changed to heat.

Thank you

what you are looking for is an auto-changeover thermostat. the vision pro can be programmed for this. you do not have an infinity control.

The VP can be set up for auto changeover. Read your manual!

[plain spoken]

I have no idea what you are trying to say. Do you have an Infinity control? If so, it has the capability to be auto change over.

For the Infinity,push the red and blue,(heat and cool) buttons ,at the same time for auto-changeover.

Sorry guys, let me better clarify.

Presently I have a VP8000 - which we had installed in January, since then I learned my old 80% tempstar has a bad heat exchanger and is in need of replacement.

I have been waiting for the new equipment - The infinity system to arrive (MVB furnace, Inf control and 17 seer infinity condenser - (the ac units were not in stock and have been in short supply) Was just contacted today to tell me it in stock! : )

So... The VP8000 is going and the infinity controller is coming. So my question was in referrence to the carrier Infinity control.

Is "auto-changeover" common? Do a lot of customers have this feature enabled or does it make things more complicated with everyday heating and cooling?

Thanks

It is very common. And is not any trouble at all in fact you will be able to set your heat and cool setpionts and walk away. It does not bring any trouble infact it saves you the trouble from switch it from heat to cool.

I have a VP 8000 series stat in my house enabled for auto-changeover. Not often it actually is called upon but one day late this unusually warm winter the morning started out in the forties and by afternoon it was ninety-five outside. Heat was on when I left in the morning and a/c was going like gangbusters when I got home. Nice to come home to a house already cool. A few days later a cold front blew through and the heat was on when needed.
