Lennox 24Z13 Thermostat

The Lennox 24Z13 Thermostat (Braeburn Model 1230) is the industry-standard non-programmable digital thermostat designed for 2 Heat / 1 Cool stages. As a professional-grade OEM replacement for Lennox 51M33, this unit offers a rugged, reliable interface for both conventional and heat pump systems. Featuring a large 4.4 sq. in. blue backlit display, it ensures high visibility in dark mechanical rooms or residential hallways. Contractors value the 1230 for its SmartLimit temperature limits and installer lock mode, which prevent unauthorized setpoint adjustments and reduce unnecessary service calls. The separate O and B terminals provide maximum flexibility for heat pump reversing valve configurations, while the hardwire or battery power options allow for seamless installation in any environment, including 2-wire hydronic zone systems and millivolt applications. This Economy Series workhorse balances persistent performance with the straightforward operation your customers demand.
