Dude, If temperatures get to those negative levels,
I’d suggest moving to a warmer climate Or getting a big open fire that you can roast a beast on as well as keep warm! Cause that’s bloody cold.

I think it depends a bit on what type of system you re getting. Doesn't the company which installs your system have any recommendations? I recently asked for a quote to upgrade my 25-year old mid efficiency natural gas furnace to a new high efficiency furnace and heat pump. For us up here in northern BC a heat pump can have a lot of advantages, unfortunately it is too cold in the winter at times to rely on it exclusively since once you get to below -5 or -8 degrees it can't take any heat out of the air any more and you still need an alternative source furnace like natural gas or electric. Anyways, my point is that the quote I received is for an American Standard furnace and heat pump which are all linked together and in order to get the best performance you also need the American Standard thermostat. I have this also at my retail store and the app which is called "AS Home" is quite accessible, not so much the scheduling option, but all the rest I would say is just as good as with my Honeywell Lyric T5 which uses the Honeywell Home app and while I don't think the American Standard thermostat is home kit compatible, it is compatible with both Alexa and google. If you can have any thermostat you want I think the Honeywell Lyric line are a good choice which would be the T10 if you want it to be compatible with air conditioning.

Hi List, Unfortunately, I’m having to replace my central heating and air conditioning systems. I don’t have the specific manufacturer make and model of the system I’ve chosen but it is made by Trane. Since a new thermostat is required with the new system, it makes sense to get one that is accessible with my iPhone and also works with my Amazon Echo so that the installers of the new system can install it at the same time. I’m dealing with a tight timeframe since the installation process starts tomorrow. I know this topic has come up repeatedly but I’m hoping someone would not mind reposting their recommendation for accessible thermostats. Any comments on which systems are required to work with a particular accessible thermostat are also needed. Thanks in advance for your help.
