Comments about Braeburn Braeburn Model 5000 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
A lot of useful features.
However, a times the fan does not stops until I remove the batteries and reset the thermostat
Comments about Braeburn Braeburn Model 5000 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
Thermostat is easy to install and fits existing screw holes from previous thermostat. I selected it for the recirculating fan cycle which works fine. The characters on the display during programming were not always easily interpreted, e.g. "LG" looks like "L6" and I still don't know what "OC" means, although the manual has an adequate explanation ofwhat it refers to. The normal display is clear.

Lowest cost unit with recirc capability and it works.I've installed one on the main floor of a large house and in an ocean front condo with severe variation in load on either end of the unit.Recirc feature balances load and evens temperature without running fan continuously.

I bought this thermastat to replace the Braeburn 3000. It was about a 15 minute install since I did not have to change the backing plate. I like the recirculate function because I don't have a variable speed air handler.
Comments about Braeburn Braeburn Model 5000 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
I bought this thermostat because it had a recirculate feature that I couldn't find on any other brand. This feature turns on the furnace fan at regular intervals (without heat or AC) to recirculate the air in your home. If you have a two story home, it helps to equalize the temperature. If you have a basement rec room, it keeps it from getting musty. After moving to a new home, it became too annoying not to have this feature and I was surprised that Braeburn was the only thermostat that had it.

Comments about Braeburn Braeburn Model 5000 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
We've always had moisture problems in our basement. This thermostat keeps the air moving and that greatly helps with that issue. I wish I had discovered this years ago. Easy to install/program. Haven't discovered any problems after a couple of weeks usage.

The recirculation function is the easy to program and works great. The back light is also a nice touch. You can run the heat or cool to within a half degree to make it more comfortable. I had one just like it at the duplex we rented before we bought a house and loved it so much that I bought one for the house.

Comments about Braeburn Braeburn Model 5000 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
I had one installed in my main living area. We noticed some savings over a year period from the "old mercury" style. Now with the bedroom unit replaced, we are noticing a much more climate controlled house, especially the "hot" AZ desert summers. We like the programs can be set and adjusted for times, thus making it easier to adjust the schedules between the living and sleeping areas. We expect to save at least 4 to 5 times what the cost of the unit was to purchase.

Comments about Braeburn Braeburn Model 5000 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
The instructions state the recirculation feature delay can be set at 120 minutes. This was not the case. I called Braeburn, and they replaced my model 5000 with a model 5050 for free. The model 5050 allowed me to set the recirculation timer to 120 minutes. The folks at Braeburn were very nice to work with. I would definitely buy a Braeburn product again.

Comments about Braeburn Braeburn Model 5000 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
Works very well and nice additional features. The automatic recirculation runs the fan regularly when the cooling or heating demand is not there just to refresh the air in the house. We have two, one upstairs and the other for downstairs.
Delivery was very quick by UPS. Just a few days.

Thought this was a simple replacement for the Braeburn manual thermostat on my 3 year old furnace. weeks have gone by and this unit cannot turn the furnace on at the correct time entered, who knows what's it's doing when I'm gone all week. Simple programing but an obvious problem in the unit, I'm sending it back to the manufacture for warranty.
