So I rang up my local pet store, and they said that these Thermostats are better than the URS ones, what do u guys think are they better, or not?
But I have seen others talk about problems with thr ecotech thermostats.i did have a urs 1 1st of all, but the 1 I had was rubbish so i gt my money back and brought the ecotech.
We always recommend the Microclimate,. By far a better thermostat!

Problems most people have with electronic thermostats can usually be traced back to vague instructions supplied with the units. Day/night units seem to be the worst as the changeover tends to trigger the over/under temp alarm to activate, often with no instructions given on how to disable this function. When you get used to operating these units they work fine. Only problem with them unlike say a microclimate one is that they are not easy to fix if they break.
I don't use either so can't help, but using bigjoedriver's statement about instruction being vague i wondered if it would be possable for those that are proficient in setting up each different type of thermostat to do a step by step instruction sheet in plain english and then collated into 1 post and made a sticky so that all the non tech types out there who buy a thermostat with their inherent vague instructions could just go to the 1 sticky post and with a sigh of relief find the easy to understand instructions on how to set up their unit with no pulling out of hair or screaming tantrums....... sorry for hijacking your post joe but i have been tossing this around in my head for a while now and this finally gave me the initiative to get it out there. ..........................................Ron
Sorry to hijack the thread also but Ron I also think that's a great idea! Probably just important to get it proof read by a few other knowledgeable people to check for any errors, therefore preventing any backlash against the author/s.
