70 Series Non-Programmable, Heat Pump Thermostat, 1F75H-21NP

When my 38-year-old heat pump finally gave up the ghost, I was faced with the proposition of an all-new system and thermostat. The last thing I wanted was one of those complicated gizmos that do everything but flush your toilets, as my old system used an ancient mercury-bulb thermostat that worked nearly 40 years without failure. This fits the bill, with large, easily read numbers, and flat-out simple operation. I installed this myself, as I did most of my new Goodman heat pump inside and outside units, but instructions for the thermostat conflicted with information from Goodman. I had technicians install the heat pump line set, and had them check the thermostat wiring. They found an error -- good thing -- and this device has since worked fine. So, unless you are well versed with this stuff, professional installation, or being able to contact the company, might be necessary.

This thermostat took a little bit of time to arrive. It was nicely boxed with information on compatibility with gas, oil, or electric systems. The controls are ultra easy and uncomplicated, unlike many on the market today that seem to want to be their own little command centers. It worked well for an elderly person to easily understand and maneuver the system.The controls include arrows to adjust temperature, one for fan, on, or auto, and one for cool, off, heat, or auxiliary.It was easy to install into an existing thermostat spot, and even includes a little built-in level to ensure proper alignment.Nice simple system for those who don't want the bluetooth style of units.

So far so good. Easy install and keeps things simple.

Watched a YouTube tutorial and installed this product flawlessly the first time. Works great.

Review for 70 Series, Non-Programmable, Heat Pump (2H/1C) Thermostat.We have been using Emerson thermostats for a while now. This one is a basic model made for heat pumps. Since someone is at home most of the time, we don't need a programmable thermostat. This thermostat fulfills our needs. It has a clear display. It is easy (and intuitive) to swap from heating to cooling. And it is easy to change the desired temperature. That is all we really want our thermostat to do.Once we had our HVAC person install the first thermostat, then we are able to replace the thermostat ourselves with the same model.

This has just basic functionality - just on or off, heat or cool, 2nd stage heating/emergency heat, or fan only. Not all HVAC systems have all of those, but this can handle them if they do. And that's all I need. The instructions were simple and straight forward, but limited. If you have never installed or changed one out, the included instructions won't teach you (they refer you to hire a professional). But all thermostat manuals do pretty much the same thing. The only manuals I've seen that have more are for thermostats that have 5 or 7 day programming, WiFi, or apps for your phone. This thermostat has none of that and I personally don't need it.If your HVAC system has a "C" wire, that's good and it will power this thermostat. I've heard that some systems don't have a "C" wire but I've never seen one (I'm not an HVAC pro and have only owned or worked on three systems). This will work with systems without a "C" wire because it can operate on two AA batteries and some good alkaline batteries come in the box. If the power goes out then the batteries act as a backup for the "C" wire to keep your display working and save your temperature settings.If you don't need all the bells and whistles of WiFi, apps, and 5 or7-day programming, it's hard to go wrong with this model. Especially since it also includes a 3-year warranty. 5 stars and highly recommended.
