Heat Pump Thermostat 2 Heat 1 Cool, 5-1-1 Day Programmable

Has functioned well. Easy face to read and set up. Came with little flags for the connecting wires.

If you don't want or need a "smart" thermostat but want programmable settings to fit your lifestyle and cut heating bills, this is the ticket. It has a large, easy to read display, and compared to other programmable thermostats I've used over the decades, this is quite easy to program and change. Be warned, installation could present challenges, such as, slightly different spacing of mounting screws from your old thermostat. Oddly, the simplest legacy connection, a two wire red-and-white heat-only setup (wires labeled R or RH and W) turned out to be a major headache. The setup is not covered in the Installation Manual, but the logical guess is to connect to the RH and W/E terminals. Didn't work. After debugging that everything else was working, I posted a question on Amazon. Within hours, the seller responded: "you need to connect RH- W2 to realize the traditional thermal mode." Too bad they couldn't have just included this in the manual, considering how common this arrangement is in older homes. But kudos to the seller for the quick and correct answer. Good thermostat, good value, good customer support. Recommended.

So, I had an Ecobee, and although, I reached out to their support several times, and they told me their thermostat is compatible with a 2H/1C system it just never worked right. I decided to get a system specific for 2H/1C and it worked. I was a bit confused about the instructions, if I am being honest and there is a section where it read you'd need a jumper if you have a specific system, but in the end I was able to get heat and cool to work. The unit lights up when you press a button, and it's easy to read as shown in the picture. I will update my review after having it for a while but for the price it's pretty hard to beat, IMO.

Works real good I replaced with heat and air conditioner controller it works real good

I needed a quick inexpensive thermostat to test my recently-repaired heat pump system with suspected faulty thermostats. Basic thermostats at this price are not typically configured to operate heat pumps. This one is specifically designed to do so and controls 2-stage heating. 1-stage cooling with or without auxiliary or emergency heat (controls one or the other, not both; I hope I got this right?). It was just $31.99 (USD) (+tax). If it included automatic switching: heating-cooling/cooling-heating, I would leave it installed as my primary thermostat. Powered by the 24V transformer (requires a common (C) wire), or batteries only, or both, with the batteries acting as a backup power source. The batteries are held in the front, just behind a swing-down panel. Programmable: 5,1,1 (weekdays, Saturday, Sunday) or none (hold), backlit display (no always-on option), filter change reminder, 50-2000 hours, temperature offset (never understood this feature), compressor 5-minute lockout, and others. Running the wire took forever, but installing the thermostat was easy and quick. Could improve: Difficult to separate the unit from its wall plate. I used a butter knife. The supplied drywall anchors are weak, relative to the force required to separate the two halves. Use a plastic pry bar or butter knife, or risk pulling the whole unit out along with the screws and drywall anchors. This happened to me on one side. Replaced anchor. Overall: 5 stars. An excellent thermostat for under 35 bucks. Ordered on the 6th, arrived on the 8th.

Not very hard to install. Feature-rich, it includes what I feel is super important in a thermostat the feature of a temperature "swing" setting. This lets you set separate swing settings for heat and cool. Without this feature every single degree change results in an on cycle or an off cycle. Thats too often and too many run cycles that don't last very long. Your AC (cooling) needs to run long enough to pull humidity out of the air. I give this thermostat an A+ rating. The only thing I'd change would be a larger display. I'm 66 and wish I could read it without my glasses. If you're young with good eyesight its probably fine. One thing I especially love is how quiet the relays in it are. My previous LUX brand thermostat relays switched on with a (too loud for my taste) "CLACK". Loud enough to wake me from a sound sleep. This Heagstat is super quiet in that respect.

This thermostat lacks a “Y2” connection. That means if you have two stage cooling, this thermostat will make it function as a single stage. “If your new thermostat doesn't have a Y2 terminal, it's likely a single-stage thermostat, so it won't be able to run the second stage of cooling. Without the way to connection: “Your new thermostat will still work, but your cooling system won't be as efficient.”

Don’t know why they can’t make a thermostat that just goes on there and does it stink why does it have to be programmable the stupid thing reprogram is it self every other night and goes back to a setting that slower than I need it it’s a piece of garbage and does not stay programmed the way it’s specified you can program it I want just a thermostat that turns on the heat that turns on the cool air and then it’s done doesn’t have to go through all the social stages of all the different times of days of the week and different temperatures of different times one that’s not what I want! Make a company that just makes a damn thermostat do it supposed to turn on and off heat and cool the end

Changed the old one that became defective, this unit replaced it and is easy to understand.

Excellent value works great

manuel anglais ecris trop petit

Remplacement d’un thermostat York pour thermopompe. Les instructions montraient de connecter le fil B sur la visse B et le mauve sur la visse C. Pas la bonne instruction pour mon système. C’est le noir qui devait être sur la visse C. J’ai fait sauter le transfo de la fournaise. J’ai du faire venir un technicien pour faire les réparations ce qui ma couté très cher. Thermostat retourné à Amazone et un nouveau spécifique pour ma thermopompe installé par le technicien. Soyez prudent.
