Emerson1F83H-21PR Heat Pump (2H/1C) Programmable Thermostat

Ok, this is just the best thermostat for some who wants an intuitive simple to use thermostat. No tough programming or downloading apps and needing passwords. I wanted a setback thermostat for my heat pump as I’m on time of use electric rates. I was nervous abt all the little wires as I’m color blind and can’t easily differentiate wire color. I took pictures before I removed the wires from old thermostat. Then I removed them one at a time installing them in the same lettered terminals on new thermostat. It maybe took 15 minutes. That was it, new thermostat is easy to read and program. Directions are clear and concise if you need them. This is an excellent product. Compliments to Emerson.You won’t regret getting this product.

Easy to make a schedule. Looks great and easy to install.

This thermostat was supposed to be easy to install and a Do It Yourself project. That didn't work for me. I had to call my HVAC technician to get it to work. Now that it has been installed by the technician, it works great.

Easy to install, very straight forward

This thermostat is very low frills. No WiFi, no sensors, no touchscreen, so its a very basic programmable thermostat. Nevertheless, it works well. The backlight is nice, when the lighting in the room is dim.My system is a heat pump, with auxiliary heat strips. The manual switch that allows me to use only the auxiliary heat is helpful, when the outside temps drop below zero deg. F and the heat pump struggles to supply warmth. I like the fact that the jumper between the 1st stage (heat pump) and 2nd stage (auxiliary heat) was preinstalled. The terminals for the wiring appear sturdy, and it was easy to connect the wires for my system. For looks, I installed the optional F61-2663 Wall Plate, which covered up the the unpainted portion of the wall from the prior t-stat. 1-month since installing the unit, I am satisfied with its performance.

My previous thermostat was a honewell and it had no turn on or off adjustment. My AC would constantly cycle on and off all day and night. The on and off factory settings on the honeywell are entirely too close together. This thermostat has several sensitivities you can set. My AC now stays on when it needs to run and when it turns off it's off for a little while (not just the 5 minutes the honeywell would do). DEFINITELY well worth the money for this one.

This thermostat so far works well with my YERK HEAT PUMP SYSTEM. It was easy to install and set up, just follow the instructions. Emerson installation videos are helpful.

This is perfect for my 20 year old single stage heat pump. I had tried two different Honeywell thermostats, but had trouble with them working properly. This Emerson was easy to install and worked great for my older heat pump.

Easy to install and does the job

Perfect replacement for my old White-Rogers thermostat! Even the mounting ''holes'' matched up with the old one... Took me 10 minutes to remove the old one and install this one! Works like a charm... My system, a Thermopump/AC unit on the outside of my house with a furnace on the inside (all electric system)... Swapped the 6 wires from the old into the new thermostat and bingo... ALL GOOD!!!

I had to replace my old Emerson / White Rodgers thermostat and based on prior reviews, I picked this one and I’m so glad I did. Even though it’s a little wider than my old one, the holes matched up perfectly! Installation was quick too!

Thermostat works great. Easy to install and a very affordable price. Two thumbs up on this one.

Good
