Overview

Overcome Thermostat Limitations

Why a thermostat alone can’t fix comfort and humidity, and how the APR Control can.

A thermostat can only start and stop the compressor — it cannot reduce capacity. On part-load days it satisfies temperature quickly and shuts off before the coil removes much moisture, leaving the space cool but humid. The APR Control adds the capacity modulation a thermostat cannot provide, working alongside the existing controls.

Key takeaways

  • A thermostat can only cycle the compressor on and off, not modulate capacity
  • Short on-cycles satisfy temperature before meaningful dehumidification occurs
  • Longer, modulated run-time is what removes latent moisture
  • APR Control works alongside existing controls to extend run-time
