HoneywellHome RLV3150A1004/E RLV3150A Non-Programmable Digital Electric Heat Thermostat for Electric Baseboards and Convectors, White

These are the perfect replacement for dial thermostats. I've never been able to get a dial thermostat that could consistently hold a comfortable temperature. Instead, they are basically on/off switches. This unique product from Honeywell solves that. Following the instructions, I set it up for fan heaters which is what I have. This changes the duty cycle period from a few seconds to a few minutes. I find it a little strange that it has no "off" setting, and that the buttons have no icon. The lowest it can be set to is 41F, which should be low enough for most applications, including freeze-prevention applications. The highest it goes it 86F, which again covers the most common applications. Its LCD is readable from off-angles when the backlight is off, but once you press an adjustment button, the backlight washes it out at angles other than head-on. Speaking of button-pressing, whenever you press a button, the first button press does not adjust temp. It brings on the backlight and changes the screen to show the set point instead of room temp. Then subsequent button presses do actually change the set point. After a timeout, the backlight goes out and the display returns to current actual temp reading. It also pauses heating when you're adjusting it. Installation was straight forward, about the same as changing out a light switch or recep. If you're not comfortable with electrical, have a friend help.

we bought two of these. one and it worked so well we bought a second. super easy to install maintains a constant temp without having to fuss with it. if you want to reduce the temp at night it's a simple as the push of a button. reasonably priced as well.

Easy operation, works great , simple installBacklight is a nice touch , have it controlling 2 1500 W heaters

Well, we just purchased an old home with a newer addition. All of the rooms have their own baseboard heaters, and all also have the dial type thermostats. The old rooms had what looked like 1970's type of thermostats (not sure how old they truly were), and the addition had modern thermostats, but also dial type.Based on the reviews, I purchased 3 units to replace the old ones (not the new ones in the addition). As soon as I received them, I went ahead and installed them. I was initially worried that I may have gotten over my head since, when I removed the old one, I had 4 wires (two red and two black). I did the "unthinkable" and read the instructions searching for guidance and, surprise!, there it was. I followed the instructions and had it set quickly, and without issues.These units are GREAT! They work wonderfully and am so happy with them, that I'm purchasing 4 more for the rest of the house. I definitely want these instead of the old knob type. I like the gradual increase in temperature, I like that it maintains the temperature by keeping the heaters warm rather than waiting until it gets cold, and blasting them on again. It maintains the temperature within a tight range, which is much more comfortable than the old type. Plus, I don't have to guess where to set the knob, and have to adjust several times before getting it right.The only part that I don't quite like is that there is no on/off switch. I know that it may not be needed (we just moved in during winter, and haven't lived here through a summer) because setting the temperature low enough will prevent them from coming on. But I would like to have the option.If anyone knows of the version of this model that works with a fan unit, please let me know; I have one fan heater that I need to replace the thermostat on, and would like to use one just like this one.

Bought this to replace a Honeywell TL7235A, which unfortunately began regulating erratically after just two years. I like: 1) simplicity. Easy to wire for two-wire or four-wire installation. Just up and down temp buttons. No on/off, no backlighting, non-programmable. This keeps the cost down. When heating season is over, just set the temp way low, or switch off the circuit breaker. 2) Unlike the old thermostat, this take up no space in the electrical box, so those stiff, pesky 10 gauge wires feeding the box don't have to be stuffed clear to the back or sides. 3) Regulates much better than a snap-action device; narrower temperature swings in the room.
