The microclimate in a country house or in a country house is sometimes even more important than in a city apartment. Here you are gathered on a fine October weekend at the dacha, and upon arrival you find that it is very, very cold there. Yes, and living in a country residence you want the same comfort as in the metropolis. An important component in this will be the thermostat, we will talk about the best of them in the KP rating.
Top 5 fa'atatau e tusa ai ma le KP
1. Thermal suite LumiSmart 25
Teplolux LumiSmart 25 is a thermostat for underfloor heating with an indication of operating modes. The device is designed to control domestic water and electric heating systems – convectors, underfloor heating, etc. The device controls the temperature of the desired device: it turns on the heating, and when the desired indicator is reached, it turns off. The entire system is automated, which saves energy.
The design of the thermostat is designed not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also so that it is pleasant and easy for the user to control the heating. In addition, the device fits perfectly into the modern interior, emphasizing its style (LumiSmart 25 won the prestigious European European Product Design Award in the field of interior solutions). One of the advantages is that the thermostat can be built into the framework of popular European manufacturers.
LumiSmart 25 is equipped with a unique open window detection feature. If the room temperature drops by 5°C within 3 minutes, the device considers that the window is open and turns on the heating for half an hour. Control of the device is intuitively simple, color indication of modes also helps in working with the device. The thermostat is capable of operating at ambient temperatures from +5°C to +40°C, and the manufacturer’s warranty is 5 years.

2. SpyHeat ETL-308B
Inexpensive and maximally simplified solution for a zealous owner. ETL-308B is installed in a frame from a switch or socket. The conservatives will like the control here – this is a mechanical twist with just one button, which is responsible for turning it on and off. Of course, there is no remote control, so upon arrival at the country house, you will have to turn on and adjust the temperature of the warm floor yourself. By the way, this appliance can regulate heat in the range from 15 °C to 45 °C. The manufacturer’s warranty is only 2 years.

3. Electrolux ETT-16 TOUCH
Expensive thermostat from Electrolux with a huge temperature control range from 5 °C to 90 °C. Touch control is well implemented in this model, you can understand the control intuitively. An interesting feature of the ETT-16 TOUCH is the temperature sensor built into the device, which, together with the remote one, makes thermoregulation more accurate. True, there is a problem with this sensor in some instances – it simply refuses to work. Perhaps this is a defect of specific samples. The thermostat is able to create a 7-day work plan, for example, to heat the floors or the radiator before your arrival at the dacha. However, there is no Wi-Fi and remote control, which means you will have to manually program the device in advance, and if plans change and you do not arrive, you will not be able to cancel the launch.

4. Caleo 520
The Caleo 520 model does not belong to the most popular cohort of temperature controllers today – it is invoiced. Now buyers prefer devices with hidden installation within sockets and switches. The 520th can be praised for its well-read display, which is only needed to display the set temperature. The very same control is carried out by buttons. The maximum load that the device can withstand is relatively small – 2000 watts. So, for electric underfloor heating, even an average area, it is better to find something else. There is no programming or remote control here.

5. Menred RTC 70.26
This option is suitable for those who want to save as much as possible on the thermostat – for 600 rubles we get a completely working device. Installation of RTC 70.26 hidden, in a switch frame. The control here is mechanical, but it will not be convenient to call it. The “kruglyash” of the switch is made flush with the body, and it is proposed to turn it with a side corrugated part, which still needs to be felt. This device is suitable for adjusting the temperature of a warm floor in the range from 5 °C to 40 °C. Despite the budget, moisture protection at the IP20 level is declared here, and the guarantee is 3 years. But the lack of even a primitive turn-on schedule makes the purchase of RTC 70.26 for giving a dubious one.

How to choose a thermostat for a summer residence
The choice of a thermostat for a summer residence or a country house is a responsible matter. If we are in a city apartment almost every day, then far from us we need a really reliable device. About how to choose a device for this, together with Healthy Food Near Me, will tell Konstantin Livanov, fa'apitoa fa'afouga ma le 30 tausaga o le poto masani.
What will the thermostat work with?
Underfloor heating or radiators are the main applications for these devices. Some models can also work with water heaters. In principle, all these devices can be in your country house. But basically, thermostats are set for underfloor heating. Here, too, there are nuances. For example, not every appliance for electric floors is suitable for water floors. Be sure to look in the specifications and at what maximum power the thermostat can “digest”. If there is obviously a lot of it for one device, then you will have to install two and redistribute the flows.
If you want to save money, then it’s not a problem to find a high-quality mechanical thermostat for a summer residence. These are simple devices that will honestly work for many years. But their simplicity is often already disliked by people. The electronic (aka push-button) version allows you to finer and more visually regulate the temperature. It may already have some kind of programmer for days and hours. A modern solution is a touch thermostat. They use a touch screen instead of buttons. Often other handy features come with the sensor.
Faʻatulagaina auala
The most popular thermostats have a so-called hidden installation. Such devices are designed for installation in the frame of an outlet or switch. And it really is. There are overheads, but for their fasteners you will have to drill additional holes, which not everyone likes. Finally, there are thermostats that are designed for installation in panels with a meter and electric automation. They are also called DIN rails.
Polokalama ma pulea mamao
The ability to program the launch and mode of operation can be very useful to the summer resident. It’s nice to come on Saturday evening to a warm house. But without remote control, it will not be possible to change the planned program, which means that the situation when electricity is spent on excess heat in an empty house is quite possible. So, you need to look for a model with Wi-Fi and control via the Internet. But with a country residence, you must be sure that the connection will be. Otherwise, it’s just money down the drain.
