Emerson Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson, has launched its Emerson Blue Selecto thermostat line, the first ever Spanish-only line of programmable thermostats. After researching the unique needs of Hispanic contractors and homeowners, Emerson Climate Technologies White-Rodgers division adapted its award-winning Blue thermostat platform to address the key concerns of the growing Hispanic population.
“Until now, many Spanish-speaking homeowners were somewhat apprehensive about programming English-language thermostats, afraid they may accidentally make a change that would result in overly high energy bills or cause damage to their system,” said Jay Wirts, director of marketing, Emerson Climate Technologies, White-Rodgers division. “With the Blue Selecto thermostats, we are providing contractors with a solution that addresses the distinct needs and concerns of their Hispanic customers. They can now have the confidence to operate a programmable thermostat in a language they understand while maintaining comfort in the home and saving money on energy bills.”
The easy to install Blue Selecto thermostat line includes three models, each featuring a Spanish language display and Spanish programming. To accompany the new thermostats, Emerson is also implementing a Spanish-speaking homeowner helpline (1.877.978.7828) for homeowners with questions as well as a Spanish language NATE certification training module for contractors.
The Emerson Blue Selecto thermostats have four-square-inch Blue displays, allowing for easy navigation, and they include pre-programmed software for simplified time and temperature programming, giving the homeowner confidence that they will be achieving their desired level of comfort and energy efficiency. The ENERGY-STAR-approved Blue Selecto thermostats also maintain room temperature differential within one degree Fahrenheit and have multiple programming choices to maximize efficiency during the week and on weekends. They offer a potential energy savings of up to 33 percent, helping homeowners save even during peak air conditioning demand periods.

- Simple setup menu.
- Soft-touch key pad.
- Easy to wire terminal block.
