Introducing the Rheem Comfort Control² System
High-Definition Serial Communicating Thermostat

Earlier this year, Rheem introduced the addition of Serial Communicating technology utilizing the new 500-Series Comfort Control² System thermostat, which allows the indoor and outdoor components to "Talk" to the other. Now, we are pleased to introduce the NEW Comfort Control² System High-Definition Serial Communicating model RHC-TST550CMMS, featuring a 3.5” diagonal VGA LCD display. This new thermostat is super slim, measuring only ½" thin. Serial Communication is controlled by sending commands and passing along system status notifications. This technology provides the homeowner with complete control over their comfort and makes installation and service for the contractor simple, faster and less prone to errors. With the NEW 500-Series Comfort Control² System High-Definition Serial Communicating thermostat, your customers will realize a new level of comfort and dependability and appreciate its sleek and sophisticated design.
