Aprilaire Zone Comfort Control

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

The Aprilaire Model 6504 Intelligent Zoned Comfort Control System solves the problem of inconsistent, uncomfortable temperatures by placing an Aprilaire Model 8570 Thermostat in up to four separate areas (zones) of your home.  Then heating and cooling is directed by the selective opening and closing of dampers located in your system’s ductwork.  Conditioned air is delivered where you need it, when you need it.  This revolutionary new system offers more convenience and information than you would ever expect.
