help needed with a LuxPro digital 2 stage stat

[cvcman]

ok on my new Rheem 2 satge they insatlled a LuxPro stat. I dont use the program featue but when I set it to cool and bump the temp override to the tem say 75 I want it to hold it works great.

Then I get up in the morning and its at 85 degs ?? Reading the instructions it doesnt look like I can just keep it in them temp I want it looks like it keeps going back o the factory set programs ??

Thank you

Program it for the same temp. at all times.

Is there a permanent hold option? For a programmable thermostat there's gotta be a way to adjust the factory-set programs. Do you have the model # of the thermostat by chance or any other info about it? It's gotta be in the manual somewhere.

Not sure about the new luxpros
But there was a round dial on the left side of the older ones for setting the programs. And there was also a hold button to keep it at one temp on the right side of teh dial.

well it looks like you hit the hold button then just set the temp and it holds. But... if you shut the button to off and then back to either heat or cool you need to press hold again.

Isn't there a way to not have to hit hold everytime ?? This seems like a nice stat nd seems to work good but it seems like other post say LuxPro is a POS ?? What gives ?? My installer says they use them alot and have little trouble, if they did they wouldn't use them ??

I ain't fond of them either. Many of them, 3 years down the road you can't set the temp right. You push the button in, and it doesn't do anything.
I guess if you don't keep setting it to different temps, the buttons last longer.


Thats one of the nice things about the higher end vision pros. You can set them not to do set backs. Then you don't need to worry about the programs. And if later you want to use set backs, you can enable it.

Humm.... well... I have a 10 yr parts and labor warranty would this be covered ?? Should I tell the company I want a different one now ?? Again they said they dont have many problems and if they did they would use them !

Its a PSP602

Program it for the same temp. at all times.

I gotta agree with Jay... just set the temps for all the heating periods the same, and do the same for all the cooling periods.

It may or may not be covered by their 10 year plan.

If its covered by there warranty, no problem.

[cvcman]

The paper work jsut says 10 year pars and labor covered on the furnace so ???

Do you think I should try to get them to change it out now or just keep it ??

I dont think setting the temps all the same would work for me as we do turn it down at night and up when we get up. I guess we can just use the hold option.

Beenthere whacha think keep it or call and complain, probably they would tell me to just use it if its working

[air-doctor]

OK then why not just give in and use it the way it's designed? Program it for the temps you want during the day and the temps you want for nighttime setback.

[beenthere]

If thats their standard stat. keep it.

If you do set your temps to different settings for sleeping and wake time. Why not set up the times on the stat for your routine.

Or get a T87
