HONEYWELL TL8230A1003 Thermostat Electric Heat Digital 7 day programmable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received my order of 5 Honeywell TL8230A1003 Electric Heat Thermostat Line Voltage Digital 7 day programmable thermostats one week after I placed the order. The units arrived well packaged, are solidly built and are much nicer and smaller than they appear onscreen. I had a licensed electrician install all 5 a week ago, replacing my 25-year-old units. The electrician had never seen this particular thermostat before, but because of the straightforward installation guide coupled with his experience, it only took about 20 minutes to install the first unit, and about 15 for each of the remaining 4. Within minutes I had them all programmed!
The Honeywell TL8230A1003 Electric Heat Thermostat Line Voltage Digital 7 day programmable thermostats are incredibly easy to program, and have icons that correspond to different functions (i.e., comfort mode, night mode, away/vacation, manual, etc.). I consider myself to be very "tech-savvy" and don't like to read manuals if I don't have to. With this product, I was able to figure out how to use every function, with minimal time, and without having to study the instructions (which, by the way, is just a front-to-back insert). Further, because they are connected to the heating unit power supply, there are no batteries to change. The only down side to this is that in the event of a power outage, I believe all the programming will need to re-done. Still, it's a minor inconvenience.
The most wonderful thing about these thermostats is the ability to program 4 different times for each day of the week. Though they come pre-programmed, re-programming is completely customizable. For example, for Monday and Tuesday, I can set the three downstairs units to come on at 5AM, go off just before I leave home, come on again an hour before I return and go off again an hour after I go to bed. I set the living room and dining room units to only come on in the evening. For Saturday, I program a totally different set of times, and on Sunday, yet another set of times. The thermostat also has an "On/Off" switch that allows me to turn them off if I don't want the timed setting(s) to come on, as well as a "manual" function that allows me to completely override the programmed setting and increase or decrease the desired temperature. The thermostat is also EXTREMELY QUIET when switching on and off in timed modes, and has a backlighting feature accessible by a long bar-type button on the face of the unit - perfect for checking temps in the dark. Each of the setting buttons is made of non-slip rubber so fingers won't accidentally slide off during programming. The buttons are small, though, and there is no backlighting for the buttons. The only caveat is to be careful not to press the "clear" button unless you actually WANT to clear a setting. This button is not in a separate area of the unit, and I inadvertently cleared one of the programmed times.
All in all, I am very satisfied with this product. What a great feeling to wake up in the morning or come home in the evening to a warm home! And the cost savings as a result of being able to use heat only when and where I need it are sure to be another benefit. I'm so pleased with these new thermostats that I've recommended them to two of my neighbors/friends, and I expect that they will purchase new sets within the next couple of weeks!
To summarize,
Pros:
Small and sleek
Easy and quick to install by licensed technician
Easy-to-understand icons
Nice "green-glow" backlight
Fully customizable programming - up to 4 time settings for each day of the week
Programming buttons have non-slip surfaces
On/Off switch
Extremely quiet
No batteries to replace - ever!
Cons:
No battery backup
Programming buttons are small and not backlit
"Clear" button is not in separate area of the unit

Honeywell YRLV430A1005/U 5-2 Day Programmable Thermostat for Electric Baseboard Heating Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although I bought this item from Home Depot, it's still the same product at the same price. I'm so satisfied with it, I want to let others with baseboard heating nightmares to know there is a reasonable solution.
If you have baseboard heat, you probably have trouble maintaining a comfortable temperature without constantly messing with the thermostats.
My old non-programmable termostats (tried 3 different models) were never accurate (off by up to 10 deg) and I had to hang thermometers beside them to keep track.
This product ALWAYS warms the room to the tempurature I set it.
The programmable feature allows me to turn it down at night and during the day.
I can literally set it and forget it.
Also too, with a proper program set, I nolonger have to run it all night and day, using less electricity and saving me money.
And with a push of a button I can turn it up or down, on-the-fly.
The next programmed time will set the temperature back on schedule.
There is a "manual mode" if you prefer the temperature to stay the same throughout the day and night.
I'm planning on buying more of these to put in all my first level rooms.
But at $50 each, I'll change them out one at a time.
(The non-programmable version is around $35.)
Installation is easy and can be done in 5 mins.
Took me less than 10 mins to figure out the 7 day program function and get it the way I wanted.
With a built in digital temperature gauge, you won't have to hang your own.
Bottom Line...
The RLV430 just makes sense (and cents). It really works well.
It's very easy to use and install.
I can recommend this item with full confidence that it's one of the best thermostats available for baseboard heated homes.

Lux Products ELV4 Programmable Line Voltage Thermostat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this thermostat (four of them actually) to replace four 28-year old analog thermostats controlling the baseboard heating in a condo I bought as a second home. These digital units immediately let me set temperatures without having to guess and constantly juggle to get a proper temperature as the old non-digital thermostats required. They hold temperatures within a nice narrow range (although they can be programmed via a dip switch to let temperatures fluctuate a bit more for possible energy savings) for each room. Installation was simple (note that you do want to cap off the second set of wires if you have a 120V system -- read the instructions and note how any existing thermostats are wired to make installation easy). The $2 faceplates which can be ordered separately seem to be necessary to get a finished look on the installation since the thermostats apparently do not mount flush to all boxes.
Each unit takes 2 batteries (AA) so get them before you install the unit. They recommend two major brands and no others -- probably a good idea to follow that suggestion. This is not a "rechargeable battery" setup.
