White-rodgers 1f81-261 Multi-stage Programmable Thermostat

Product Description

The WHITE-RODGERS 1f81-261 is a multi-stage programmable thermostat from the 80 Series line, designed to control heating and cooling systems requiring two stages of heat and two stages of cooling (2H/2C). It follows a 5+1+1 scheduling format, which allows separate programming for weekdays, Saturday, and Sunday. Licensed HVAC technicians install this thermostat in residential and light commercial applications where multi-stage equipment and flexible scheduling are required. The 80 Series platform is a well-established White-Rodgers product family suited to a wide range of forced-air system configurations.

The 1f81-261 is intended for multi-stage forced-air HVAC systems. Its 2H/2C staging capability makes it appropriate for systems with two-stage gas furnaces, two-stage heat pumps, or dual-fuel setups that require independent control of each stage. The 5+1+1 day programming structure accommodates varied weekly schedules, making it a practical choice for both residential homeowners and light commercial tenants managed by HVAC service contractors.
