My remarks have not so much to do with this thermostat, rather it is mostly about the wonderful services of Plumbing Planet who provided the item. I had used this model thermostat for over 13 years and was very pleased with its performance. Initially, the problem begin with the thermostat switching directly into the auxiliary mode when the compressor cycled in regardless of the outside temperature. Thinking I needed a new thermostat, I searched Amazon and found this model available from Plumbing Planet. I was surprised when it arrived in 3 days instead of the stated 5-7 business days. In fact, it arrived before the stated shipping day.

Actually, I found out (regrettably) that I needed a new HVAC and ended up using a thermostat that more closely matched the new system. I sent the White-Rogers thermostat back to Plumbing Planet and received confirmation that my payment had been credited back to my charge card. I was really impressed with the way this company handled my transaction, and would not hesitate to use their services again. I highly recommend them.

Regarding the White Rogers 1F82-261, this is a good thermostat. The previous one I had used for over thirteen years without a problem until bigger problems happened with the heat pump itself.

This was an exact replacement for my 12 year old thermostat that died (possibly because of a lightning-induced voltage spike). I works exactly the same. On the whole, a good experience.

Had this thermostat installed by an HVAC company to go along with my new HVAC system in March 2008. This past weekend I noticed that the thermostat was not following its programmed schedule for either time or temperature for both the morning and late night settings.

When it was supposed to be at 68 degrees per the program, it would run to keep the temp at 72 degrees, and started warming up to that temperature 2 hours before the time set, and then maintained that temperature 2 hours past the late night time it was supposed to go back down to 68.
