What You Should Know About ELV FHT 8 wireless radiator thermostat

Who does not know the problem, now it is in the morning when you wake up too cold, too hot. I had it, no desire to continually adapt the heating to the demand. Also, I asked myself, how much money you could save on heating costs through targeted control of the radiator. The solution and answer I found in the ELV FHT radio thermostats.These wireless thermostat I have, my whole house fitted about a year ago. Now after the first year in operation, I have drawn with this review a small conclusion.

Therefore I have decided for the wireless thermostat

When I occupied myself with this topic, my choice is relatively quickly dropped to the ELV FHT Thermostat.Decisive for the purchase were two factors appear to me. The first and most important for micht factor was the purchase price. Since I did not know how reliable such a wireless thermostat is working, I wanted to pay as little money for it. Not the end, the devices do not work, but I have spent on it a lot of money. The second factor was deciding to purchase, were the settings. So you can at ELV FHT radio thermostat make two settings.

Very easy assembly by the wireless thermostat

Before I ever decided to purchase a wireless thermostat, I had a long time concerns are mounting. Den I had a fear that is not this go without a heating specialist, especially since we sometimes still have some older radiator. But when I decided ultimately to purchase the wireless thermostat, I was surprised how easy the assembly being worked. A pump pliers for solving the old thermostat was enough to screw the new wireless thermostat can. Even the screw here is very simple, without any tools. Overall, the month was done within a few minutes. It comes to no damage from the connector or valve on the radiator My fears were therefore completely unfounded.

Setting the wireless thermostat is easy

With the installation of the wireless thermostat of course this is not yet ready for operation and must be adjusted now. Overall, one can at ELV FHT 8 wireless thermostat two settings, so make two temperatures and times. I have hereby decided on a temperature for the night and for the day, the temperature for the night is much lower. The operation of the radio thermostats here is very simple. Once the desired room temperature is reached, this is detected by a sensor and transmitted to the wireless thermostat. This then closes the valve, the heating power decreases. If the room temperature again, it is also determined by this sensor Dia. If the temperature drops below the set temperature in this case, the valve will open again and heats the room. Overall, the setting of the temperatures very easy on the thermostat possible and the existing controls is possible. Positive aspect is its processing, the wireless thermostat is equipped with a large display. This display can be found in both the current temperature, as well as the time and date.

So you can really save money

I now equipped all the radiators in my house with wireless thermostats. This wireless thermostats are now working for a year and I am very happy with this. Although the wireless thermostats were now only a winter in the service, I have already noticed this in the billing of heating costs. This very precise control of temperature, you can actually save on heating bills. For me, the savings result is around 20 percent compared to last year. Of course, I hope this can be in this and the next few years, achieve savings with the wireless thermostat. Due to the experience but now from the first year, I'm very confident. The this year alone, the cost of the acquisition have been already paid.

Disadvantages of wireless thermostat

Already out of the box from the first radio thermostat a shortage has opened for me, that is an optical defect. So the wireless thermostat appears very bulky in size. The dimensions of a wireless thermostat are 22 x 12.8 x 7.6 cm.Where not is difficult due to its dimensions of wireless thermostat, so the weight is only 499 grams. Both my wife, and I therefore find the radio thermostats as not so nice. Here the manufacturer could make improvements and these make much more compact. Even the design one could perhaps make improvements. Regardless of the optical defect which one can handle, is another deficiency nor the volume. Especially when it comes to switching from wireless thermostat, you realize this switching the valve in the volume already. Again, the manufacturer should make improvements, as this can sometimes interfere with already just at night. Last deficiency is the wireless connection when radio thermostat. The actual room temperature is detected by a sensor and then sent via a radio signal to the thermostat. Especially in larger rooms or partitions in a room, I have detected problems when radio signal here. Certainly these problems of the buildings are due, perhaps but you can also technical measures, increase the radio signal. Overall, however, the radio thermostats operate very reliably in my house. So far have been no failures or the like.
