LUX Pro Programmable Heat Only Thermostat
Our previous thermostats could not be set precisely and it was only a guess where the temperature was set. Then the temperature dropped considerable before it would turn on, then go way above the temperature before turning back off.
The new thermostats were easy to install and the programming was a snap. Now we know exactly what the temperature is, what it is set to and we set the "swing" at 2 degrees. We eventually purchased seven thermostats. A backlit panel would have been nice, though.
Customer Review: Nice, inexpensive unit.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this unit for a home office. We turn down our forced air heat during the daytime hours and installed baseboard heat in just this one room. I looked for programmable thermostats, but most were much more expensive than this. This has more set points than I needed, but it works great. We've already seen a savings on our electric after 3/4 of a month in use. It was very easy to install. Another reviewer says that this flashes between the time and the temperature - it does and I suppose if it was placed where it catches your eye, it would be annoying because it does it fairly rapidly. But for the price, this can't be beat.Customer Review: Works great

Installed the ELV1 thermostat and it works great. Easy to program and set. Calling for more heat is just a push of a button and it goes back to origional settings on the next cycle. Did the installation myself. I had some questions about the number of wires in the wall versus the two on the thermostat but an electrician friend and Bob's do-it-yourself on line page helped a lot. Basically if you have four wires you install this on one leg and wire the other together. Please see a good diagram to understand this. It is not difficult but a visual helps to understand. Good info on line if you search "wiring".Customer Review: Finally!

I had been looking for this kind of product for years, for my 220v electric baseboard wall heater in my basement.
I wanted Lux because I have a Lux thermostat for my central A/C, and this one has the same buttons and the controls look the same. It does indeed program and operate the same way, which is a plus. It's already intuitive to program and use, but it's nice not to have to learn how to program a different brand or type.
I expect this purchase will easily pay for itself by the end of this winter.

Summary: 5 Stars
Installation and programming is easy with the enclosed instructions and takes 20-30 minutes The battery back-up keeps the settings in case of a power outage.I wish these had been available years ago when I bought our house. If these were a part of the Building and/or Electrical Code nationwide it would end up saving the home-buyer/owner lots in electric bills in the long run and help reduce our nations overall energy bill.
I LIKE the alternating display between actual temp. and the time!
