Cheap CADET MANUFACTURING CO 03365 Built-in Baseboard Thermostat

CADET MANUFACTURING CO 03365 Built-in Baseboard Thermostat
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
This is a standard thermostat for Cadet baseboard electric heaters. It is easy to install. However, the thermostat mechanism on the inside of the unit is very fragile and susceptible to being bent during installation. This is especially true when wiring for 240V using 10/2 with ground wire.

Make sure your supply wires and wire nuts are well out of the way when you mount this thermostat. If you have to push the thermostat into the enclosure to mount it, you will likely bend or distort its temperature sensing mechanism.

If you also want to make a junction in this heater (six #10 wires) for supplying electricity to another baseboard unit, forget it. There will be too many large wires, and they will very likely damage the thermostat. Make the 240V junction in a separate box before you feed the baseboard heater. Then take your supply off the junction box and wire the next heater.

I can't believe how quickly the log set arrived! It is just what we wanted since we cannot use our firerplace for a real fire. It does provide supplemental warmth and we enjoy watching it as do our cats. Our only problem was that we plugged it into an outlet that serviced our TV, several lights, etc., and when I turned the controls to their highest position, we had darkness!! We have an older house and had not thought about the wiring. The log set now has its own outlet and line. Thank you for a good product, good service, and a great price!!

Arrived super fast. Easy: just pull out of the box and plug in. I live in a mission-style 1926 apt that formerly had natural gas inserts. To sub fire, I bought this. Potentially cheesy on its own, it morphs into an almost glorious scene (to disguise the Lego-look, I camouflaged with an attractive fireplace screen.) Keeps the room slightly warmer (9'x14') so not a big game changer in the heat dept. Remote control fake fire does kick some butt during rainy Seattle months. Good value for added ambiance.

looks nice in a unused fireplace but the heat from the heater is not for a 13 by 12 living room so dont think it will keep you warm on winter here in Indiana if you want a nice look for your fire place then go for should be 99.00 dollars because of the not so good heat out put!!

Just finished putting this together and I have to say this is a beautiful fireplace for the money. The firebox is top quality and the fire is extremely realistic. This adds such a wonderful touch of elegance to our bedroom not to mention the heating benefits. It takes around 2 and a half hours to put together and you actually get more parts than are actually required for assembly. I am extremely happy with my purchase

Best Hunter 44760 Multi-Stage Heat Pump Thermostat Deals

Hunter 44760 Multi-Stage Heat Pump Thermostat
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
I purchased this thermostat because I like the programmable setback features as well as the ability to see how long the system has ran in a given day. However, during the heating season my heat bill almost doubled. I had HVAC techs out 4 times, under warranty thankfully, to check the heat pump and they kept saying it was ok. Finally the last guy who came out determined it was the thermostat. The thermostat will run the heat pump for 15mins (this is preprogrammed and NOT changeable). If it hasn't reached its set point within that time it brings in Aux heat until it reaches its set point. When it's cold you're almost always running on Aux heat. For me that was electric and you can imagine the bills. I have since went with a thermostat that has Adaptive Intelligence (Honeywell) that will only bring in Aux heat when needed based on an internal calculation. The Adapative Intelligence thermostats will also shut off the Aux heat when it gets close enough to the set point that the thermostat knows the heat pump can do the rest. This Hunter thermostat works great for A/C, just not for heat with electric backup (Aux).

I bought this thermostat a couple of weeks ago; it has been working well so far and has plenty of bells and whistles. Installation was fairly straight-forward; the instructions were a bit unclear, but one call to their support staff took care of that problem. This unit seems pricy when compared to other thermostats, but it was the only one that I could find for a multi-state heat pump system. But since I was able to install it myself, and it has been working well since then, I'm not particularly unhappy about the price.

Honest reviews on Hunter 44760 Multi-Stage Heat Pump Thermostat

We got the thermostat for its programmability and the way it switches between heat and air. All those are great. BUT when the heat does run, the auxillary heat kicks on EVERY TIME. I have spent more time than I care to admit on the phone with tech support, then I found the review that explains that it is what this one does... in an electric heat pump, auxillary heat is VERY EXPENSIVE. So much for the energy star! We have purchased another...Our heat system had NEVER had its auxillary heat on in its four year life. We've replaced it and returned it. I'm watching for my electricity bill and worried...

We had previously installed a regular programmable thermostat for a standard system. Unfortunately we found out two years (too late) later that if you use a regular programmable thermostat with a heat pump system then you never actually use the heat pump in the winter you always run off of emergency heat which uses a ton of electricity and runs up the electric bill big time! We've since installed this unit and it works excellent. There are so many programmable features I don't even know where to start! This is an exceptional unit for the price you won't be dissatisfied!

I purchased this heater from Sam's Club for $59.98. I also purchased the 1 year replacement plan for $5.72, just in case. I bought this heater as a secondary heat, our primary source being a wood stove. So far, I am very pleased with the amount of heat that is produced. It did take a while (couple hours) for our living room to heat up, but once it did, maintaining the heat seems to be no problem. I think for the money, this is fairly good product.

We use this heater as our main source of heat. During the winter we freeze and it won't heat the room over 57 degrees. We have to use a separate space heater in addition to this one to keep the room at a comfortable temperature. Our small heater puts out more heat and keeps our room warmer then this one does.

This is a great heating unit. We use it in an office that was converted from a garage. The room does not have duct work from the house and it is very cold without the heat. This unit heats the entire room which was a two car garage so it is a very large space with a high ceiling, larger than more room sizes.

The unit is able to turn off and on automatically and has a very good thermostat that keeps the room warm all day. I usually turn it off completely in the evening and it is pretty quick in the morning to heat up. We live in the South so it is warmer. It might not do as well in the cold Northern spots.

I really liked the idea of the split system, and the idea that it could be a lot quieter than a window A/C. I needed the 25' hose kit since I was installing it on a second floor room (~250 sq ft), so I had to order through the distributor instead of Amazon.

It's now installed and it works cools and heats really well. It's a bit noisier than I thought from the other reviews, but it's a lot quieter than the old window unit it's replacing. We use the room for meditation and yoga we were hoping for something even quieter, but its internal squirrel cage fan seems a little off balance, and various plastic parts sometimes rattle.

It arrived in three packages the outside unit, the inside unit, and the hoses. For me the hardest part about installing the outside unit was that I had to put in an outside disconnect box for power, and all the conduit and fittings that required, and a dedicated 15 amp circuit. It took a couple of days and about four trips back to the hardware store to get it right. It easily just sits on a couple of 12"x12" pavers from Home Depot you could use cinder blocks just something under the feet.

The indoor unit was hard to mount it's heavy and awkward you need two people. I had to buy a 2-3/4" hole saw to make the hole in the wall for the hoses (pipes), power cable, and condensation drain line (one hole for all). But it does snap onto the bracket when it's done.

The (amazing!) instructions are actually adequate, but they had me buy a torque wrench for the refrigerant flare fittings, which it turns out you don't need a regular adjustable wrench (or two) is fine. It took a couple of trips up and down the ladder with soap solution and the wrenches to get the fittings snug and not leaking. The thing they don't tell you is that to get the air out of the system you press the Schrader valve stem for 3-4 seconds (it really blasts out) on the "T-branch valve" (which is closed, while the fluid line valve is open). Then you're good to go.

The tape you're supposed to wrap the hoses (pipes), cable, and drain line with is not sticky it's just a strip of thin vinyl, and it's too easy to drop it from high on a ladder while you're wrapping. But it finally works.

The last thing that got me was when it was all wired up, nothing happened. I used a test meter and verified that power was going to the outside unit from the disconnect box okay, and to the cable to the indoor unit. I finally had the determination to open the cover on the indoor unit, remove the 5 screws, and remove the middle cover. Then I removed the metal cover from the electronics module (one screw) and discovered that the cable had pulled and one of the power connectors was now about one inch too short to reach where it was supposed to connect! Another trip to the hardware store and I had an extension (the cable could not be pulled back since it was now all wrapped tight with the hoses). It was hard to plug in, but with a long pair of needle-nose pliers I finally got it. Putting it all back together is tricky (a true Chinese puzzle) but patience works, and the air-direction vanes are not damaged, and everything fits nicely.

And it works!

I figure I saved $1000 by installing it myself (based on one bid from an HVAC guy), and I'm happy I did. I'd definitely do it again.

I bought this air conditioner for a 350 SQ FT office, it did very good job cooling it down, it is quiet.

Installation was easy, the included instructions were very brief and hard to understand (that is why it lost a star). I found a couple of videos on youtube that made the installation very easy.

Today was the first time to use the heat pump, no complains.

Honest reviews on Celiera 12000 BTU 1 Ton Ductless Wall Mount Mini Split Room Air

I should have bought this years ago! I had a window unit in my bedroom for many years. Lost the use of the window, and had to constantly clean the filter, and the condenser. This unit eliminated all of that, although filter maintenance is still important.

Unit arrived in 3 boxes, all in good shape (no damage at all). Instructions weren't the best in the world, but with some good feedback here, and a few You Tube videos, installation was pretty straight forward. Inside unit is heavy, so it really needs two people to lift it into place. Marking and cutting the hole for the lines/wires was pretty straight forward also.

Outside unit had one minor flaw, that was pretty easy to fix. The fins on the condenser are not protected. The opening around the fins was wide open, with no protection at all. I installed a couple of pieces of hardware cloth (wire mesh) in these two areas, and now have good protection for the fins. Outside unit is pretty heavy so have some help available to move it around and get it set in the right spot. You can buy a small faux concrete or rock platform for the unit to sit on, but I made my own platform from treated lumber.

Installation of the outside unit was pretty straight forward also. Lines were easy to hook up, and bleeding the air out of the system was a breeze (hold the schrader valve open for a 4 second blast to air free the system expect oil to spray out onto your hand during this step).

System is whisper quiet, inside and out. I was so used to the window unit making noise that I had to check a few times to make sure the new unit was indeed running. Even the outside unit is extremely quiet. I keep the bedroom (14' X 18' room) very cold for sleeping, and this unit will cool the room down to a very comfortable (chilly) temperature in about 20 minutes or less (I turn the unit on about 20 minutes or so before I get ready to go to bed, and turn it off when I get up in the morning)

When hooking up the electrical for the outside unit, you must provide your own box, and either a separate breaker for the unit, or a plug for the unit. The electrical feed wire for the unit has bare wires at the end no plug. Either wire directly into a breaker mounted in an outside box, or install a plug and an exterior outlet for the unit. Not a big deal either way, but the unit does NOT come with materials to do this. You must buy these items separately (Home Depot, Lowes, or any other hardware store will have what you need).

All in all, this an excellent system, and I would highly recommend this to anyone needing a good air conditioning system for a room. I plan on buying another unit for my new office, and one for my new music room. Beats a window unit hands down, and is much better than adding a new central unit for my addition, or even running extra ductwork and vents from the existing central unit.

I bought this unit to condition the air in a partially converted garage. I was a little concerned having never installed a unit like this before, but figured i'd give it a whirl.

The unit showed up in 3 boxes, the indoor unit, the outdoor unit, and the hoses. Installation was pretty easy despite the instructions which were seemingly written on a speak and spell. The hardest part was making the hoses look like something other that a mess after installation. I had to coil them up and wire tie them. Otherwise, the individual pieces were small enough to move and install by yourself, and i figure had i not had to make 3 trips to the hardware store, i could have been done in about half a day.

The unit works like a champ, is nice and quite, and i am well pleased. however, if you are going to do this yourself, and you are going to do it to code, expect to spend about another $100 at lowes buying conduit, breakers, the right size hole saw, and a outside disconnect.

We have bought two of these units. Like most everything we have bought from DeLonghi, they work well, and they stand behind their products.

Don't be fooled by some who have posted here, who obviously don't get out much. These are space heaters, small space heaters, good enough for a small bedroom or large bath.

Our Master Bath is on the large size, whirlpool tub, seperate tiled shower, double vanity, etc. This unit works more than well at keeping us toasty, without having to over-heat the rest of the house. We have also used it in our RV, and it works well there as well.

After reading some of the other reviews, I think some of the other purchasers don't understand how convection heating works. Convection heaters don't give a burst of heat, they heat the air in a room, making them ideal for people who will be moving around. They are not a good fit for people who will be seated and want to direct hot air at themselves. They also need some time to heat the air in the room.

These are excellent heaters. We bought two, and loved them so much I just ordered two more. A single unit keeps a 10x15 room nicely warm using the low setting. This despite a bank of very inefficient windows. They are silent, and very energy efficient, since they use the fact that hot air rises to move the air through the heater. They are pretty big, but are very attractive.

Best Deals for DeLonghi HR715 Retro Convection Heater

I bought this heater to heat the 400 sq.ft. second floor of my 100-year-old house. I have hot water radiators that heat the first floor just fine, but the old boiler has a difficult time getting the water all the way up to the second floor so I have used fan style space heaters for years. I decided to upgrade to this convection heater and cannont believe the difference. It heats the entire second floor fairly evenly and does not dry the air like the fan heaters did. It looks nice too, which is a nice added bonus. I would recommend it to anyone looking to supplement their heating system.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi HR715 Retro Convection Heater

I bought this early for winter, didn't need to use until two weeks after purchase. It worked great the first four nites then stopped. Now it won't turn on.

The rep clucked on the phone about it being thirty days, took my info and promised a call back. A week later, no call back. I can't get through on DeLonghi's number, I'm put straight into a hold queue and after half an hour I hang up. This item is definitely not worth the money, and Polstein's is an equally unreliable seller with zero customer service.

I have a small house and unfortunately a new, expensive powerful, loud forced air gas heat furnace. I had it put in mainly for the air conditioning factor, but soon regretted the blasts of dry hot air last winter. I missed my old hot water radiatior heaters. I stumbled on this by accident. I liked the looks, I know DeLonghi's reputation so I took a chance boaasting to everyone that I would never use my furnace again. And to my surprise, I won't !! lol This is a great looking, quiet, safe little heater and it heats my 450 sq. ft. house well. A nice toasty warm, natural heat, without all the dryness. As the winter progresses and it becomes colder I may need a second heater but as of now it suits me just fine. I have a fireplace that also provides some heat. So my recommendation to those of you despairing over the cost of a furnace system: Forget it. I would have had I know about these !

The Honeywell HZ-3750WP digital ceramic heater is a cheezy bit of silliness. Having lived with a cold bathroom for many years and worn out many small electric heaters, I can say from experience that this model is not worth the trouble. It irritates me that heater manufacturers rarely mention the fact that their heaters have a fan. A fan is a complete waste of money for a bathroom heater. Like most other heaters of this type, the fan is not mentioned anywhere; not on the box, not in the Amazon description. The important thing is to heat you, not the room. Air circulation is not all that important.

So, what is the best small room heater design? Your best bet is a quartz or carbon rod heater with no fan. This design is much like standing in front of a nice warm fire. All of the electricity goes into the heat. The fan does almost nothing and is just a waste of wattage. Standing in front of a pure radiant heater, even if the rest of the room is cold, you are toasty warm. I do believe the consumer product rating organizations agree with me on this.

The important thing is to heat you, not the room. This little bummer is only moderately effective in reaching that goal.

This heater is an excellent choice for a small space. Because it has a fan, it would not be suitable for a TV area. And because it's not sold by Amazon, you'll have to pay shipping (but even with that, the heater is a bargain). Compared to an earlier Honeywell unit of the same size that we had, Pelonis does everything right (whereas Honeywell did everything wrong). The controls are on top (handy), the knobs are easy to dial, and the light goes out when you turn off the fan (the Honeywell's light stayed on if the unit was plugged in (huh?).

Best Deals for Pelonis NTK15 Safe-T-Furnace Ceramic Heater

I purchased this item from Wal-Mart in Oct of 2008 when it was on sale. I am here at Amazon.com to buy a more expensive model. Not this one. This heater has only one heating ceramic, and heats up a "coil" or "folded" wiring system then the fan blows the heat into the room. This model does not put out the heat that a 4 ceramic heater will put out. This model is more costly to run than the more costly, but more efficient, models. Do not drop this model. Do not put it in an area where it may get knocked over. It is low priced for a reason. Think "seasonal puchase" if you must have it.

If you can, get the more expensive models for hotter heating over a shorter period of time. All in all, Pelonis is still the brand to get. I have/had the original Pelonis Safe-T-Furnace (4 ceramic model) since 1989. Yes 1989. It has survived that long by taking care of it, and keeping it clean. I'm here to purchase a new model to replace it. The bulky wire out of the back of the old furnace finally "cracked" and lost connection to the heating elements. I had it 20 years. Sigh ....

I would suggest the more expensive model for long term use. The model shown here was lent to a neighbor and after a while her dog knocked it over and it stopped putting out heat. The fan works though. Now I need to find a job for the dog so he can pay me back ... Anyone need a yard dug up?

I attended a small community meeting in a neighbors 1830 town house where there was a charming fire in the fireplace. At the end of the 2 hour meeting I complimented the hosts on what a perfect fire. they'd made. They burst into laughter & said, "Come, look closely."

That's when I realized for the first time that the fire was artificial. I had been convinced the log fire was real.

The next day those neighbors surprised me with a gift of my first Classic Flame Insert for my 1840 house, nearby, in which there were 7 fireplaces. It was an instant hit & used nightly, just for the charm of it.

Incidentally, some months later my insurance company informed me that they would no longer cover damages resulting from the use of real fires, unless I had the fireplaces & flues lined with stainless steel. A quick check revealed it would cost over $5,000 per fireplace to do that. What about my rental apartments & the tenants fireplaces?

I explained the situation, that real fires would be banned, at the signing of the lease renewals, and I would offer & instal a Classic Flame Insert at no charge. I proudly demonstrated my own.

The proposal was a hit. All the fireplaces now have Classic Flame Inserts, the cost of relining the flues was eliminated, so was the cost of firewood, and the storage space it required, air pollution from the smoke was eliminated as was the messy chore of cleaning up the ash from a real fire. Plus, my insurance company was happy.

As a bonus the Inserts also make adjustable heat if you wish. They are especially convincing when seen behind the classic fire screens found on most fireplaces. The effect is magical.

PS When Santa came the next Christmas we just gave him a key to the front door.

We enjoyed the radiant heat that it put out when it worked, but I was disgusted that we didn't even one year out of it. After reading some of the other reviews, I decided to open up the controls and see if I could find out why it failed. I immediately noticed that the connections to the "tip-over" switch were burned, the wires were discolored, and the switch was melted slightly where the wire terminals entered the switch housing (see the picture that I included in the gallery). Seeing how several others have had similar problems with this heater, I would look for something else, it's not worth risking a house fire a for a cheap heater.

I bought one of these heaters about 10-years ago. Exact same appearance still, not complaining. I primarily used it to heat my 2-car attached garage non-stop for 9-years. It kept the cars interiors warm and engines started easily. It lasted exactly 10-years, but the cheap 15-amp outlet I plugged it into last winter melted and destroyed the plug\cord with it. So I broke it down and threw it away. I have since replaced the outlet with a 20-amp model (NEMA 20R). I will buy another one of these heaters soon for this winter. I would recommend upgrading ANY outlet to a quality 20-amp model if a heater will run 24-7 plugged into it (the U.S. needs make 20-amp outlets & wiring standard like the Europeans).

Honest reviews on Comfort Zone® Deluxe Oil Filled Radiator Heater CZ7007

I already owned an oil heater that generally looks like this, one that has been very good for a few years, heating a bedroom plus adjoining bathroom. However, this Comfort Zone product that I recently bought is not adequate. I am trying to get it to warm up one room (30DegF outside), but here I sit in a fleece jacket and coat while typing this, and the heater has been in the center of the room for an hour with the dial turned all the way up. I'm not very hot on this heater.

I bought two of these heaters one year ago, to the month. They worked well, producing heat without being overly hard on the electrical bill, throughout our Maine winter last year, which was a comparatively mild winter. We began using them again a few weeks ago, but one of them quit working yesterday. It was working, and then it wasn't. It doesn't even light up when turned on and yes, I've checked the electrical socket. In comparison, I have a Lakewood oil-filled heater that I bought more than eleven years ago and, while the wheel assembly has let me down, the heater itself still works great. I am rating it three stars because one of our heaters is still working, although I don't know for how long, and because they do work well as long as they are working. I expect to get more than a year out of it, though.

Had this for 1 summer, top is totally covered in surface rust. Product comes with a cheap vinyl cover that we did not use. It works great, is fairly easy to assemble, and very lightweight, so you can move it where you want. Disappointed in the surface rust on top and sides, but will try to paint it with high temp paint this winter and see how it holds up. Rust does not affect the use, but looks poor.

The fire place is very decent size. The design is very nice. The only problem I have had is that when the steel gets hot the fire place door wont clamp when it's shut but the door will stay in place if you just close it. Hear in Wyoming it is still winter but considered spring I have had at least 4 fires each of them lasting more than four hours. I has had rain and snow also wind. I do not keep it covered and encountering those weather features in such a short amount of time it has held up wonderfully. One other thing is that if you need to flip logs it can be rather difficult because it's almost square so it can take some time to do. The fire place took no longer than 10 minutes to set up. All in all it was a very good deal and I would recommend it.

I just received the product in the mail. It did come slightly damaged but not enough for me to worry to much about it. I would just like to warn people it is extremely thin metal. I dont know if it will actually withstand the heat. I have a fireplace in my home and have melted the metal grate in it and it is made from a much heavier steel. I do have to say I love the look of it and cant wait to give it a try but, there is nothing heavy duty about this and I am a bit skeptical. I will update my review after a few uses. And as previously stated the welds on the product are very poor to say the least.

After using the product on several occasions it seems to hold up well. All the neighbors and friends love it. It puts off some decent heat but the ambiance that it gives off is well worth the cost. So far the metal is holding up well. Could not be happier. Every time we have burned it has been at least several hours....so I think its safe.

LOVED this fireplace! I have seen and used a number of outdoor fireplaces; however, this is by far the best quality and style. I LOVE IT! It is easy to open and place wood inside. However, it is also safe enough that I don't have to worry about intoxicated quests falling into the fire like some of the outdoor fireplaces that I have seen. I would highly recommend! Easy to assemble too!

Due to the recent heat wave here in New Jersey I have not used this fireplace to date! However I will say it was easy to put togther but I don't anticipate this fireplace lasting more than a year. When we received this fireplace and began assembly their was a side piece in which the Grate was broken,(poor welding technique), So we called and waited a week for a new piece. When we received the new piece and continued with the assembly we came across another piece that was defective and of course another week goes by until we receive the new one. Upon completion of the fireplace we put the top on and noticed the weld job, on the seam running from the top center to the lower corner. A three year old could have welded better than this! I do wan't to apologize to all three year old kids and to the parents of these three year old kids as it was not my intention to slight any of them but to bring to light how poor the welding techique that was used to construct this fireplace. This fireplace was very light and flimsy. It looks nice except for the weld on the lid. I will say that everytime my wife called about the problems, the customer service reps for "Fire Sense" were prompt and courteous and actually made this purchase a 3 star vs. a 1 or 0 star purchase. If this fireplace lasts more than a year I will update my review.

We bought it for our bedroom, heats up the bedroom very nice, and thats just on the low setting. It is also is nice to look at. The only problem we have is that when it was shipped the back of the remote that covers the battery was in pieces, the heater was packed well, but the remote wasnt. All in all we like this heater.

I am very frustrated with this product. When the box arrived, it looked liked it had been opened previously and then resealed with new tape. My first thought was, I hope this isn't a product that has been returned by another consumer this could be a problem. So I was pleasantly surprised when I set it up, it came on right away had a nice look and the heat output was good. This lasted for little more than 20 minutes, then it went off. I reviewed the troubleshooting portion of the instructions and tried a couple of the suggestions but nothing no light, no heat nothing. If nothing else works, I have no choice than to return it!

This little unit is just right for the small house I am renting.

The instructions for the table mount were a bit hazy. as in.. there are 6 holes. 4 screws... but.. a bit of looking, and it's easy enough to figure out.

I love it. I bought it for my bedroom. I leave the flames on all night. The heater is great but I wish it has either a timer or a thermometer on it. The remote came crushed but it was promptly replaced. Easy to put together if you lay it on a bench, etc to screw on the base. I have it setting on a desk under my wall mounted TV. Nice ambiance to my room.

It seems to work fine for heating a small room, but it's quite bulky and doesn't look nice when viewed sideways. I had to find an area to install it where you only look at it head on
