Question of the day: What thermostat is best for me?

I got this great question in the mail today. It read like this:


We live in a house with direct electric heating. The radiators are two-phase oil-filled from the eighties and thermostats, in other words not quite tiptop.

We are thinking about installing a heat pump and a wood stove meaning that the direct-acting electricity is just there for the top and maybe to heat the parts of the house where the heat pump can not reach.

My question therefore is: Can anyone recommend a good thermostats with central control or room control for our direct electricity? I think cables are ugly, so I want as little wiring as possible, preferably wireless.

My options today is the BAS EVS from Bonab, but it has the disadvantage that it regulates the heart of the house and therefore almost certainly miss the heat pump is not "access" everywhere. Wireless options I have found can not handle two-phase, but there may be others I missed?

Answer: I think there are many different thermostats that would suite you well. For example, check out the Honeywell RTH7600D. I am sure it will not let you down.
