Honeywell Home CT30A1005 Standard Manual Economy Thermostat, Almond, 0.6

It’s a very basic thermostat. It works as expected. I wish it had a thermometer on it but it does not indicate that it has one. I was very easy to install.

installed, works well

Easy to install. Works great, it was an immediate upgrade to our living. Turns right on when the temperature dropped.pretty accurate.

Very nice and simple replacement for my camper's thermostat. 2 wires to attach and there you go. Functions exactly as I expected.

GREAT old school thermostat! Sometimes less is more. Low cost, easy installation, and Honeywell quality! Five stars.

Perfect replacement match. I should have replaced my old one a long time ago. This one works perfectly. Recommend it 100%.

Honeywell Home CT30A1005 Standard Manual Economy ThermostatI see in the Q&A's the manufacturer replied it is suitable for Empire heaters, while a seller said no it isn't. I expect that seller speaks from having had thermostats returned to him as unusable.My observation - not suitable for Empire heaters that need a millivolt thermostat. This seems to be a '2-wire' thermostat, not a millivolt thermostat.It generally failed to turn on. Millivolts measured arriving at the thermostat were adequate. I found infinite resistance across its contact points. (That should measure zero when the points appear to be closed). I see 'rated up to 30 volts' on a tag inside. Maybe this needs the usual 24 volts from a transformer. I cleaned the points with electronics solvent. No improvement. Moving the temp lever hot/cold several times is the only way to start the furnace. It just won't come on by itself as the room cooled even when the points appear closed.It's incompatible with my new heater that calls for a millivolt thermostat. The new heater:'HouseWarmer Slim-Profile Direct Vent Heater with Blower - Natural Gas' isSame as - many Empire heaters. I assume its made by Empire.So I bought an Empire 'reed switch' thermostat. I see it's different internally. Instead of mechanical points it has a reed assembly similar to a small resistor but glass, bridging between the two terminals. A magnet on the temperature-sensing coil passes by this reed component to trigger its internal points.'Cozy Low Voltage Reed Switch Thermostat' looks to be same as the Empire thermostat.Advice - Not for use with Empire heaters. Not for use where a Reed Switch is called for.Summary - This Honeywell CT30 Series thermostat is not suitable for a heater that has no external voltage source.

Off is not off. This is a simple mechanical thermostat which means that a coiled spring shrinks and grows depending on the ambient temperature. It should work fine on many applications, however if you are using it something like a cabin, or in my case, an auto show you should know that even with the thermostat manual temperature control slid completely over to the left, the thermostat will activate your furnace at temperatures around 40 degrees. This might be a good feature if you use it to keep water pipes from freezing or that kind of goal, but if you truly want the furnace off, and you expect temperatures in the low 40’s F You will need to disconnect the wires or it will activate the furnace. This could result in some surprising energy bills.

I have many of them installed in my house to regulate the heat in each room that's supplied by my outdoor wood furnace. This is a RELIABLE, SIMPLE, NON-EXPENSIVE device that all the big box store no longer stock.

Works great easy to install, very relialable. I used this theromastat to replace the wireless one that came with my gas fireplace. No more issues with leaky batteries and replacement costs.

Will work good for garage heater

Fonctionne comme l'original, même mieux très satisfait de se thermostat. Pour le remplacement, de l'ancien. 12 Volt

Easy to install great product
