I first looked around at Stiftung Warentest.
The v. Honeywell and EQ3 are the best on the market.
The only difference: THE PRICE
Honeywell: 30-33.-
EQ3: 15-16.-
Both professionals!
Then the reviews of my colleagues here.
I then really very spontaneous for decided by EQ3 and get for the price of one 2.
1 x for the kids and 1 x for the living room.
The other rooms are not heated by myself because our heating costs at level 5 were by our smaller radiators for industrial and dining room together only permanently heated and our heating costs are exploding it. Then better quite as under full load heating (500.-EURO savings). But still it is not pleasant and would love to heating ....! Well let's see ...
I still have old radiator fins from the 70s. War through my colleagues really unsure wg. the glands, whether these fit now (despite all the adapters). Delivered old unscrewed new screwed it fits.
The have come delivered packaged clean, brand batteries (Duracell) eliminate any possible adapter here.
1. Read Owner's Manual Small
2. Insert the batteries
3. First attempts at setting (easy: who reads is smarter) storing before installation (is handy)
4. Assembly, more than 1-2 minutes
5. After installation, the thermostat automatically adjusts the valve (takes 3-4 minutes Felt)
I had on the first day and ultimately even on the second day a few test runs of the heating temperature do, then everything was ready for use. Each room due to its furniture, floor plan, tightness of the space required, of course, a special adjustment of the temperature. This needs to be figured out just once.
Hint: Recorded you the settings for the season, as determined in the spring of other intervals / times / temperatures can be selected.
The savings comes about as follows:
My radiator in the living room so I have programmed:
0: 00-08: 30 clock: 5 ° C / 08: 30-19: 00 clock: 21.5 ° C / 19: 00-22: 00 clock: 22 ° C / 22: 00-23: 00 clock: 20 ° C / 23: 00-0: 59 clock: 5 ° C
My radiator in the nursery so I have programmed:
0: 00-06: 30 clock: 20 ° C / 06: 30-20: 00 clock: 5 ° C / 20: 00-0: 59 clock: 20 ° C
The position of the valve is always accessible through the menu!
With the old manual thermostat (actually are no thermostats) has precisely the heating on
Step 2 (40%) 3 (65%), 4 (85%) or at the beginning set to 5 (100%).
Example living room;
At 8:30 the clock thermostat turns the valve on to 100% to achieve the 21.5 ° room temperature. This is with me after about 10-15 min. happens. Then he turns the valve all day up and down and fits so again its temperature. Here, the position of the valve is by the thermostat on average between 0% / 15% / 25% / 35% / 40%, if one airs short times, he goes even to 65%, but no more.
In other words, before our heating had stood all day at 3-4 (65% -85%) and now it regulates all day between 0% -35 / 40%. That's Emmens ...
Moreover, if during the heating phase is not simply there, just leave the AUTO mode, turn down the temp. Of hand, either if you like in my case, before 19:00 clock there would be back again by hand to the desired temp. turn. Or if I were to come after 19:00 clock, the thermostat would have heated up at 19:00 clock in the programmed time interval automatically resist.
The boost function has now not been proven to be beneficial for me personally, but this can be very different again in someone else.
Menu guidance is very simple.
The radiator thermostats also maintain the valve itself against calcification which could not be guaranteed in advance.
Likewise, the batteries can be preserved: In this case, the thermostat when the heating burner was shut down in the basement for the summer, easy to manual switch (1 x left button press) and as long turned to the right appears to ON. The thermostat turns now fully, but still performs every Saturday at 12:00 CLOCK the Kalkschutzprogramm through by the valve once and rotated again becomes full.
Whether the batteries now last 1, 2, or 3 years, I do not pers. Relative. Here again annoy a few users on the indication. Manufacturer writes durability up to 3 years, really about! it is indeed a matter of what and by whom are the batteries and has as much to do due to the nature of the room thermostat.
In addition now comes the direct comparison to the heating cost savings vs. Batteries. For that alone should these kleinkarrierten whiners batteries around the ears beating honest. Well ...
Conclusion: Savings without end, simple operation, easy installation, super delivery, program selection without end.
Most likely I can by these thermostats save so much that I even assemble in the dining room / hallway of a
and also here can reignite. Here indeed rich and 17-18 ° C. But it is habitable again.
For bathroom, dining room and bedroom, I'm going to get even this thermostat (merchant offers Offer 6.- cheaper in set of 3 on, consequently the price of 16.- instead of only 14.-.
Oh what I'm going to buy it right now ...
