Braeburn

Braeburn Systems was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Montgomery, Illinois. The company manufactures thermostats and zoning controls for residential and light commercial HVAC systems.

Braeburn positions itself as a lower-cost alternative to premium thermostat brands while still building to ISO 9001 and QS9000 manufacturing standards, and it sells two additional control brands, BlueLink and Salus, alongside the core Braeburn thermostat line.

Product Lines

The core Braeburn line covers non-programmable, programmable, wireless, and Wi-Fi thermostats, including zoning controls that scale up to 32 zones on a single system. BlueLink is the brand's dedicated wireless and Wi-Fi thermostat platform, with the BlueLink SOLO model built as an affordable Wi-Fi option and the Smart Connect model carrying EnergyStar certification.

Salus rounds out the portfolio with home and building automation controls for forced-air and hydronic heating, electrical control, and leak detection, built on a mesh-network architecture so devices communicate without a dedicated hub wired to each one.

Why Contractors Specify Braeburn

Manufacturing at an ISO 9001-certified, QS9000-rated facility gives contractors a consistent, code-compliant product to install without a price tag that matches the premium thermostat brands. NEMA compliance and EnergyStar-certified options on select Wi-Fi models also cover rebate and utility program requirements in many jurisdictions.

The 32-zone ceiling on Braeburn's zoning line covers larger residential and light commercial jobs that a basic single-zone thermostat cannot handle.

How to Choose Braeburn Products

Match the thermostat to the system type first: conventional forced-air, heat pump, or multi-stage equipment each call for a different Braeburn model. For remote access or scheduling from a phone, a BlueLink Wi-Fi or Smart Connect model covers that need, while a standard programmable unit suits jobs where local, on-wall control is enough.

Multi-zone residential or light commercial jobs point toward the zoning line, and any hydronic, forced-air, or leak-detection tie-in beyond straight temperature control is where the Salus line fits instead of the base Braeburn thermostat.
