Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lux Products ELV4 Programmable Line Voltage Thermostat

Customer Review: Ok for the price, but save for better
Summary: 3 Stars

I was looking for replacement digital double pole thermostats for my whole house and found that there seems to be a total of only two different digital thermostats made that work on double pole. I initially got the Honeywell for my living room, waiting to replace the rest of the house at a later time. Later I got the Lux ELV4 for the three bedrooms because of the overall price difference on three units. The things I noticed right away after installing the Lux is that the over all look of it was a lot less appealing. Not that any of these thermostats are really nice looking, but this one is just a little bigger and not as clean a design. Otherwise here are my pros and cons of this unit:
Cons:
- Very loud electric switch when it turns on and off. This may not seem to horrible but it's loud enough it wakes me up at night.
- No backlight, makes it hard to adjust in the middle of the night without having to turn on another light.
- Display is very tiny and quickly flashes between time and current temperature. No way to control if it only shows one or the other.
- Requires Batteries. The Honeywell works without batteries and is able to store the programmed setting even if it looses power.
- 5-2 Programming Only. Ok, no other programable double pole digital thermostat does anything other then 5-2 either but would be nice if one of them did.
Pros:
- Easy to install though recommend having some basic electrician tools (multi-meter or voltage tester) to ensure you know which lines are the load/power lines and correctly connect everything, especially in older homes.
- Easy to program
- Price.

It works well, but I guess you get what you pay for. If you really want a good unit save a few extra dollars and get the more expensive one.

Multiple Programming Options
Properly using a programmable thermostat is one of the easiest ways you can save energy and money. And the ELV4 makes saving as simple as can be--it offers four preprogrammed settings to regulate your home's temperature in the winter, while you're at home, when you're asleep, and when you're away. You can also use the on/off switch to turn the heat off during the summer when it is not needed.

For added flexibility, the ELV4 offers the convenience of separate weekend and weekday settings, a vacation hold setting, and a temporary temperature override for manual adjustments. A patented Lux Speed Dial allows for fast programming, and an easy-to-read display shows the current time and temperature.

Save Money and the Environment
Like all programmable thermostats, the ELV4 helps reduce energy consumption, but this efficient device takes savings a step further. To maximize your home's energy efficiency, the ELV4 comes preprogrammed with a default heating schedule that's designed to save up to 33% on energy costs over a year, and it can also help cut down on your carbon footprint. Because the ELV4 is 100% mercury free, you can be sure it's a safe and environmentally conscious choice for your home.

Compatibility Information
The ELV4 works with heating-only systems that are supplied by up to a 20 amp circuit breaker. It's universal design allows it to work with both single-pole (two-wire) and double-pole (four-wire)systems, 120/240-volt systems up to 16 amps (resistive: 1,900 watts at 120 VAC/3,800 watts at 240 VAC), and line voltage (120/240-volt) hot water systems with motors up to 1/4 horsepower. The ELV4 easily fits into a wall-mounted junction box.

Two 'AA' alkaline batteries are required for operation (batteries not included).
