Features
- Barely a whisper indoors. Runs as low as 19 dBA, so it will not keep you up at night.
- Control from anywhere. Included remote, SmartHVAC app on your phone, or just ask Alexa or Google Assistant.
- Follow Me comfort. The remote senses the temperature where you're sitting, not at the wall, so the room feels the way you set it.
