I got the install company, but my hot water tank went out last summer, and because they could not locate a local supplier of the installed tank, they did not give me a free replacement. And you accepted that? If the warranty said you were entitled to a free replacement, then I sure would not have taken that as an excuse. Either give me what the warranty says or we go to small claims court. But unless it fails in the first year or two, those warranties usually pro-rate what you get. That was a bum deal. Part of the problem was the original installer was fired, and confusion. I didn't want to fight. I bought a tank and they installed it. Plum ing company referred by friend, inlaws, of course. For my air problem. I heard the thermostat clicking relays. Heat to cool, after delays. No other indications on readout. Took batteries out, a bit low. Reinstalled new batteries, and the thing now works properly. Could be the batteries or combination of circuitry needing reset ? Standard common white Rodgers stat. Greg |

Greg I have gone through a few thermostats. The white Rodgers has been the best overall. Except for the time it went intermittent after I was hammer drilling the wall. I fixed it by resoldering the crystal for the processor. Greg |
