Evolution Control thermostat – delivers cooling for a year round comfort solution. When combined with an Evolution control and gas furnace or fan coil, the Bryant Evolution Extreme heat pump makes use of a variable-speed compressor to match its operation to the heating and cooling requirements of your home. The control will monitor both the inside and outside conditions and will adjust the speed and capacity of the heat pump and indoor fan motor up or down to match the desired comfort settings. It is the variable-speed technology that makes the Evolution Extreme such a highly efficient heat pump. It provides consistent indoor temperatures and you get to reduce your energy use and lower utility bills.
