Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lux Products ELV4-005 Programmable Thermostat for Radiant Heat
Customer Review: money saver
Summary: 5 Stars
We looked all over until we found this, since we wanted to regulate a space heater at the 120 v. level. We had never done aluminum hard wiring before and burned out the nuts the first try. Our local hardware store guru clued us into using the special aluminum paste which we did and we are now sitting comfortable and with a lot better electric bill. Don't let hard wiring scare you off.Customer Review: not enough space for rear protrusion in elec box
Summary: 3 Stars
I just did not have sufficient space in the electric box to fit the protrusion form the rear of this thermostat with the heavy wires and all.
went with an aube model and it works great.
Customer Review: works very well; lowest temp = 45°
Summary: 4 Stars
I shopped around a lot before settling on this unit as the most features for the price. It works VERY well, much better control than the cheap non-digital units. I use it with an in-wall fan-type heater. It works with any in-line heater,not just baseboard.
Pros
Easy to install and setup.
Plenty flexible enough (4 daily time settings & weekday vs. weekend.
Accurate: keeps temperature very well.
Cons
A very minor drawback is that it bottoms out at 45°. This is for a mud-room in the garage, which we would prefer to keep closer to 35-40° at night in the dead of winter.
There is no simple "off" button either, which would be useful.
