non-mercury stats

carol_3

I've been hearing a lot of concern about what happens when there are no more mercury bulb thermostats. Is everyone going to have to change to the (dreaded by some folks)digital thermostats?

The answer is no. And the changeover will be simpler than many feared. Honeywell, at least, is planning to change just the insides of the old standard thermostats such as the T87 round and the T822 heat only rectangular. The thermostats will look and work just like the old ones. The difference is that when you open them up--no mercury bulb.

Glad to hear it

some customers despise change, at least the new thermostat will have a familiar look to it.

Now, if you could just include an plate about 1" all the way around to go behind the thermostat so the customers don't have to re-paint. That little piece of plastic would solve a very common complaint, and could be removed when they do re-paint.
