GARBAGE!!!!!

Date:December 20, 2011

"My house will still be above temperature and it turns on anyways. From time to time it will start to cycle my furnace again immediately after finishing cycling. As I am typing it is 17.9'C and I have it set to 16'C during the day and it just came on.....explains why my last gas bill was ridiculous. At the earliest available opportunity I am getting a Honeywell....this thing is awful."

Far too troublesome for my situation

Date:September 20, 2011

"I bought this on sale, $27.99 rather than what seems to be the normal about $80 price-- fortunately, as it might be ending up in the garbage. I'm normally quite competent with electronic devices, but despite multiple readings of the manual, and adjusting the thermostat options in many ways, I can't get it to work well with our furnace. Basically, it seems to pay only very rough attention to the room temperature, and fails to accomodate the heat-up/cool down time of our furnace. I cut the cycling back to the +-0.5 degree setting, and eliminated the pre-post warmup function that it had (starts warmup as much as an hour before a setting that raises it, as in the morning, and slows any reduction of temp on a set-back as well), but it still had strange behavior. In the morning I would find it was not starting the furnace, despite the thermostat setting showing as well above the room temp display. It seems to lack any "heat anticipator" function that older thermostats had (or even the Duracraft one that I replaced)... this is the biggest fault. Out furnace is a large one, combination oil/wood, and takes a few minutes to heat enough for the fan to start, and of course also holds the heat (and fan) for a while after the burner stops. Older thermostats would "anticipate" this and shut off the burner in advance. This one does not, and the burner merrily keeps running until the room temp reaches the therm setting, and then of course the heated furnace continues to pour out the heat with the fan until the house is three or four degrees above the setting and we are throwing open windows.

When you override the temp setting for any purpose, there is no convenient way to go quickly back to the program setting as you can with some other thermostats. I found I could only get it back by "pretending" to go into the programming settings and then backing out. Using the Home key does not seem to revert it back to programming, which it should.

After fooling with it for some time, today I took it off and re-installed my old Duracraft. It worked well, except it tended to be a couple of degrees above the actual room temp in its readings, so when I saw the Garrison on sale I thought it would be a good replacement. Since I bought the Garrison two months ago on sale (though I have the receipt), don't have the original packaging, and made a few marker lines to more clearly identify the programming buttons (they are not clearly identified with the buttons above/below in my opinion), I guess I don't have the option of a return to my CT Store. Will have to eat the loss and chalk it up to experience, I guess.

If you have a new, high efficiency furnace, perhaps this will work for you, it seems to for many of the reviewers... it didn't for me."

Easy Thermostat

flawed

Date:December 19, 2009

"like any digital gadget it has flaws. When batteries are low and the unit is on AC the desired temperature dropped from 21C to 17C.
Then the CR option jumped to 5 even though you can only set it in 1-3 range.
Lately it doesn't trigger the furnace even though there are two degrees difference..."

Works well with low-voltage relays

Date:October 23, 2009

"I wanted something to replace mercury-based thermostats and thought this might be too advanced. In fact though it's a great unit with accurate temperature control.

I would recommend it."

Easy to use

Date:June 22, 2009

"Very easy to install and use product. Temp is adjustable by +/-0.5*C increments. Humidity display is very useful, and ability to adjust each day of the week seperately and up to 4 different temp settings for a 24hr period is very good. Very good investment if you don't have a programable thermostat to save you money on your heating/cooling. I've been using this product for over 2 years now with no problems and no need to change batteries yet."

Not satisfied

Date:March 17, 2009

"This product didn't work well for me. The room temperature wasn't accurate so I ended up adjusting it all the time. I had the energy home audit and the auditor said to trust only the brands Honeywell, White Rodgers and GE. Some thermostats may have different brands but may have the inside mechanism made by these companies so they're ok as well. Better check with the retailer."

A few gotchas

Date:March 15, 2009

"This is a pretty good product with a couple gotchas. For some reason using rechargeable batteries always show as the battery dieing. I have tried three different brands of batteries of varying power levels and they all report as diing. Regular batteries are fine. The other problem I have is the 3 degree temp adjustment when moving between heat and cool settings. This makes it difficult to set the temperature in spring and fall on the auto mode. Three degrees translates into as much as 4 degrees when you include the half degree swing each way in order for cooling or heating to occur. If you have the air conditioning set to come on at 22.5 degrees (will come on at 23), that means you won't have the heat come on till 19 degree which is too much of a range."

Good Value When On Sale

Date:January 29, 2009

"I've had this for a little over 2 years, and no issues. VERY easy to program, and install was straight forward.

The only thing that I don't like is the chrome trim makes it stand out allot more than other thermostats."

The unit is in hold at 22.5 C and it will kick in at 23.5 and shut off at 24 almost as if it were in the program mode???

Question:

Also 24 C is actually 22 C, I have placed 2 other thermometers next to the unit and they both confirm the discrepency in temperature measurement!! Is there anyway to calibrate the temperature reading???

Answer:

Yeah, buy something else. I have the same one and I have the same exact problwem as you. I am going to try the thermometer trick you outlined over the next 24 hours to see how off mine is. This thing is absolute garbage.

Variable speed blower?

Question:

Will this thermostat control a variable speed blower?

Joebou

4 months, 3 weeks ago

Answer:

It is probably able to switch from low speed to high, but not control both, and this only for "ventilation" purposes rather than contolling it during heating/cooling. The manual indicates that while under heating or cooling, the fan is under the control of the furnace/air conditioner. You are able to set the fan to come on as a regular cycle during the day as ventilation only from what I read.

hooking up an old thermostat

Question:

my old thermostat has a W1,W2 and a Y1,Y2 wire. The themostst I bought from you only has 1 W post and 1 Y post. Can I hook up the 2 Ws to the one post and can I do the same for the Ys

Answer:

You are trying to replace your old thermostat which is a 2 stage unit with this one which is a single stage unit.
This single stage thermostat can be used but changes will have to be made at your furnace control board by setting dip switches etc (check furnace manual or with a tech) in order to continue to have staged heating. You are better off to replace your old one with a 2 stage thermostat.

TOU compatible?

Question:

Can this be programmed to change the temperature seven different times in one day? That's what I need to do when TOU pricing starts here in Ottawa. Thanks.

Anonymous

Answer:

The thermostat allows programming for 7 separate days of the week, but only 4 settings per day.

Answer:

The thermostat listed below has 4 program settings per day (morning, day, evening and night) which will accommodate the different TOU periods – On Peak, Mid Peak and Off Peak.

In winter, the 4 settings can be programmed to accommodate the 4 TOU periods:
P1: Morning - On Peak
P2: Day – Mid Peak
P3: Evening - On Peak
P4: Night - Off Peak

In summer, the 4 settings can be programmed to accommodate the 4 TOU periods:
P1: Morning – Mid Peak
P2: Day – On Peak
P3: Evening – Mid Peak
P4: Night - Off Peak

Note: Weekends are always Off Peak.
