ComfortNet™ communicating control system, recently launched by Goodman Global, Inc., is making complex, time-consuming system wiring frequently associated with high-efficiency residential HVAC systems obsolete, the company says.

With a ComfortNet communication control system, an HVAC technician will never need to use more than four control wires to connect a gas furnace or air handler to the control system, according to the company.  Further, a transformer is included with the control kit, which can be installed in the condensing unit – reducing wiring requirements to just two wires.  

With its auto-configuration capability, once the low voltage wires and the ComfortNet control are installed, a search for the indoor and outdoor components of the systems begins.  By means of shared data programming, the control system will automatically setup the airflow and all operating characteristics based on the capacity of the indoor and outdoor system components.  No dip switch or thermostat modifications are required by installers in most applications.

The ComfortNet control system actively monitors and analyzes the entire HVAC system for any irregular conditions. If detected, the control will take appropriate action and display the results in the diagnostic menu on the ComfortNet control unit.  

The 12-square inch touchscreen display and oversized touch keys simplify programming.  An intuitive menu, with audio prompts and color-coded temperature touch keys, allow for quick adjustment.
