<DIV>We are continuing to use a Kelvin thermostat from I L A. But I don’t think
they have been coming out with newer models to deal with changes in
equipment.</DIV>
<DIV>Some people I have talked with are happy with the VIP thermostats from
talkingthermostats.com , a company near Minneapolis. They have two models listed
on their website, and I suspect that one of them would work for you. The site
tried to launch Windows Media Player when I opened it; I closed that and read
the info with Window-Eyes. I have talked with the proprietor on ham radio a
couple of times, and he seems to have a good and honest attitude.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hello Fellow Federationists,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT size=3></FONT></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Recently, I had to replace my central air conditioning
system and heating. The system came with a touch pad thermostat which of
course, I could not use. I am asking the company to provide me with
a talking thermostat but am trying to find some information about what is
current to give them a name.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT size=3></FONT></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have a 10 year old one I purchased from
NFB but that does not seem to be working well with the new system. To be honest,
since the system has the new refrigerant, I probably need to get a
new one anyhow. That is probably why they tried to replace what I had. Can
anyone give me any ideas? I checked on Google, but am not getting the
answers I think I need. I believe this is a forum where
I can get some decent answers.<o:p></o:p></P>
