Customer Reviews For The Honeywell Home 5-2 Day Programmable TRIAC Line Volt Thermostat - RLV4305A
Product Reviews
Great thermostat, worth the money. One cool feature they fail to mention is this stat actually controls the intensity of your baseboard, for eg if you ask for a big temperature change it will turn on your baseboard full power, if your looking for a 1 degree temperature change it will run your baseboard about 1/2 power and once it hits setpoint it runs your baseboard at a low temp to maintain setpoint, great for energy saving and comfort, that alone is worth getting it.
Technician took only 5 minutes to install and I found programming to be a breeze.
I really like the features on this unit: Programmable changes, limits on overrides, minimum temps etc. etc. It reads pretty low -- feels more like 70, not the 66 on the display -- but that is readily compensated for. Very nice to have the heat come on to help us wake up. Works with the in-the-wall Cadet heater.
Fast Shipping and reliable product.
Bought four and they all work great. Hard to find programable for electric baseboard I couldnt be more pleased.
Selected Triac controls to avoid sticking bi-metal contacts. These seem to be excellent as the tmp/s 6 RLV4305a installed are staying at the correct temperatures. Easy installation and setting of the parameters
I've only had these installed for a few days but the first thing I noticed was that because there is only a 1 degree swing in temperature, they keep my baseboard heaters at a more consistent temperature so the metal is not contracting and expanding all day long, ie: less clanking. I love that they are easy to program and the display is backlit. They look good on the walls too.
These were my first programmable thermostats, easy to install, easy to operate. They work well with fan wall heaters. Only complaint is the text is so small, I recommend pushing the mode button so the screen lights up for easier visibility.
We replaced our old dial type thermostats with these programmable ones and are very pleased!
Easy to install, good visual appearance, and easy instructions to program for variable temp settings.
Easy to install and work well
This is a transparent, easy-to-use and attractive thermostat.
I switched to Honeywell for all available products several years ago. Their quality are so much better. I have the thermostats installed with no problems and hope they will serve for a long time.
I've slowly been replacing the original thermostats from the 80s with these for my small apartment complex. They are easy to install, look nice, and cut down on electric bills with the programmable function. Best ones I've found for reliability and functionality for baseboard heaters.
A breeze to install and set up. The thermostat works very well with much better temp control vs. the original. Major advantage is that the heat is off or down when no one is in this room, big savings.
I'm happy with the thermostat
We recently moved into a house that only has baseboard heaters in the bedrooms upstairs. After a few weeks of trying to remember to turn on the kids heaters before bedtime and then sneak in to turn them down after they were asleep, I purchased one of these for one of the bedrooms. It was great! Quick and simple install, easy to program, and has an easy-to-read display. After seeing how easy and effective it was, I quickly ordered two more!
Been using these for years. Excellent product.
This all started with researching installing a mini-split heat-pump system. But the cost of a full mini-split system was exceptionally high in comparison to using multiple Smart Thermostats like the Honeywell. This installation went without a glitch. Now I'm looking forward to the projected savings that could equal that of the more expensive mini-split system. Lee
I have six of these, best thermostats I have ever had
Product FAQs
NOTE: All parameters, except the clock (time and day), return to their default settings when the thermostat is reset.
- Press the Mode button until Standby appears on the screen.
- Press the button for 6 seconds.
- The thermostat will display (reset) for 2 seconds to indicate that it is reset. It will then return to normal display.
The TRIAC silent switching technology eliminates the clicking noise commonly heard in traditional thermostats when the heat turns on or off. Additionally, it provides much more precise temperature control (within +/- 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit), which prevents the large temperature swings often experienced with mechanical models.
Yes. This thermostat is versatile and compatible with fan-forced heaters, as well as electric baseboards, convectors, and radiant ceilings (2-wire). It can handle the unique power requirements of fan motors. This makes it a great choice for wall-mounted electric heaters.
No. The RLV4305A features a battery-free backup system. This ensures that your programmed schedules and settings are saved even during a power failure, so you won't have to spend time reprogramming everything once the electricity comes back on.
