Copeland Comfort Control (White Rodgers) 1F78-144 Thermostat
The White Rodgers 1F78-144 is a professional-grade non-programmable digital thermostat designed for single-stage 1H/1C systems. Engineered for 24V AC and millivolt applications, this horizontal-mount control serves as the direct replacement for legacy 1F30-913 and CD-130ME models. It features a high-contrast LCD with a backlight for clear visibility in low-light environments, making it a reliable choice for residential upgrades, light commercial use, and RV furnace or cooling systems. As a battery-powered thermostat utilizing two AAA batteries, it eliminates the need for a common wire (C-wire) in most retrofits, ensuring broad compatibility with gas, oil, and electric HVAC systems.
