Why Choose the T42?

Unlike a standard single-stage thermostat, the T42 enables two levels of climate control. For example:

• Stage 1: Starts minimum ventilation fans.
• Stage 2: Activates additional fans as temperatures continue to rise.

This staged control improves bird and animal comfort, reduces energy consumption and helps maintain a more stable environment throughout the year.
