yes, if the ac unit has 2 zones, you will need a thermostat for each zone. if the ac unit provides both ac and heat, you can connect a thermostat for each. not a good way to go. better to use 1 therm in that case that has a heat-cool switch on it so the unit is not putting out both heat and ac at the same time.

How can I effectively control the temperature in my home with one AC unit and two thermostats?

To effectively control the temperature in your home with one AC unit and two thermostats, you can set one thermostat to a lower temperature to activate the AC unit when it gets too warm, and set the other thermostat to a higher temperature to deactivate the AC unit when it reaches a comfortable level. This way, you can maintain a consistent temperature throughout your home by strategically adjusting the settings on each thermostat.


How can I effectively control the temperature in my home with 2 thermostats for one AC unit?

To effectively control the temperature in your home with 2 thermostats for one AC unit, you can set one thermostat as the primary control for the AC unit and the other as a secondary control. Ensure that both thermostats are set to the same temperature to avoid conflicting signals to the AC unit. Additionally, consider installing zoning systems to better regulate temperature in different areas of your home.


Is there a programmable thermostat for a unit that has 1 ac unit and 2 thermostats?

You need to be a bit more specific in your question. You state you have 1 AC system but 2 thermostats. What type of heating system do you have? Gas furnace, Boiler, Electric heat, Hot Water? Is your heating unit separate from your cooling unit?


Can I run two AC units with one thermostat?

I wanted to add some details: Currently I have two AC units on the roof that share returns and ducts, but are controlled by two thermostats separated by 2'. Can I run both units off the same thermostat? It seams no matter how I set the thermostats one unit ends up running more than the other. But maybe this is a good thing? Yes, you can operate both units from one thermostat. The best way would be to use a two stage thermostat. Then a relay will have to be installed in one of the units to separate the control transformers.

What do you do your ac unit froze?

well, what my parents do when this happens is turn off the ac unit completely, keep it off for an hour or two and then turn it back on and its working better


Can you use 3 split ac unit on one compressor unit?

Up to 2 forced air units to one compressor unit.


How many btu in one cubic meter?

Btu and cubic meter are two different measuring units. Btu is the unit for heat transmission, like in ac units 12000 btu/hr. It means this ac unit would remove 12000 btu of heat from the room in one hour. where as cubic meter is the unit for volume.


Can you hook two central air con compressors to one thermostat if you have two thermostats side by side one for upstairs and the downstairs bedrooms and one for the living dining rooms and the den?

No. You must keep a separate thermostat for each air conditioning unit even if the two thermostats have been physically installed side-by-side.The reason is very simple to understand: a thermostat is, very roughly, a bit like the cruise control in a car. When the speed drops from the set speed the cruise control gives the engine some more gas until it senses that the car's speed is fast enough and then it reduces the gas supply to the engine to maintain the set speed. No car engine can share the same cruise control with another engine. It is exactly the same for two air conditioning units - they each need to have their own thermostat.Now this particular question itself raises yet another question: Why has the installer placed both thermostats alongside each other? That is not good practice at all!The installer was either "cutting corners" - to save having to do some extra wiring for each separate thermostat - or was plain incompetent.To ensure that a particular air conditoner is controlled correctly its thermostat must be installed somewhere within the "zone of cooling" for that air conditioner.You should have been asked which areas you want to be controlled the closest. If you chose say the main bedroom for Zone A and the living room for Zone B, that is where the thermostats for each air conditioner should have been placed. But, as they have been installed side-by-side, if they are both set to the same temperature then the zone furthest away from the thermostats may never be cooled enough or may be over-cooled, whilst the zone closest to the thermostats may be controlled ok.To understand the reason why that would be true, let's consider what would result if each thermostat were set to a different temperature: it is obvious that the thermostat set to the cooler temperature will keep its ac unit running long after the thermostat set to the higher temperature has turned off its own ac unit.The resulting overall effect depends on which of the two zones is set to be cooler: * If the "set-to-be-cooler" zone is the zone closest to the position of the two thermostats then that zone will be controlled ok but the more distant "set-to-be-warmer" zone may never get any air conditioning!That more distant zone could just heat up to the temperature of the outside air because its "own" thermostat is telling it that the air around it (meaning the thermostat, not the ac unit!) is cool enough already...* If the "set-to-be-cooler" zone is the zone furthestfrom the position of the two thermostats then that zone will, again, never be controlled properly because the ac unit in the nearer "set-to-be-warmer" zone will always turn off its ac unit to maintain a temperature that is warmer than the other, more distant zone requires.So, again, that more distant zone will always get too much cooling because its "own" thermostat is telling it that the air around it (meaning the thermostat, not the ac unit!) is not warm enough yet!

What are 3 examples of household appliances that use thermostats?

Refrigerators: Thermostats control the temperature inside the fridge to keep food cold and prevent spoilage. Water heaters: Thermostats regulate the water temperature to ensure it is at a comfortable level for use. Air conditioners: Thermostats monitor room temperature and adjust the cooling or heating settings to maintain a desired comfort level.
