- Mechanical Heat Backup This thermostat includes a bimetal switch that will automatically turn on the Heat when the temperature reaches about 41ºF (5ºC). WARNING: This switch only activates the heating terminal (W). The system itself must be capable of automatically turning the fan on. Without normal fan operation, severe damage to the heating system could result.
- Adjustable differential - thermostat is set at the factory to cycle at 2ºF (1ºC) above and below the set temperature (DIFF = 2). This setting has been designed to provide a comfortable room temperature under most conditions. However, if you find your system cycling too fast or too slow, then the DIFF can be adjusted to modify the cycle time.

Comments about Robertshaw RS3110 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
Before installing the RS3110 my oil fired fan forced furnace seemed to run almost constantly. Now it does not run nearly as often but takes just a few minutes longer to reach set temperature. Since furnace is already hot I beleive it is a lot more efficient now. I am hoping the unit will pay for itself several times over this heating season.

Comments about Robertshaw RS3110 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
Most thermostats have +- .5 degree F. differential setting that is not changeable. This results in the furnace or heat pump cycling on and off frequently, thus raising heating and cooling cost. With my new Robert Shaw adjustable differential thermostat set at 1 degree F. differential my heat pump cycles on and off about 1/3 as frequent as with my old thermostat.
It was very easy to install and program and has several features over my old, one year old programmable thermostat.
Thank you!

Comments about Robertshaw RS3110 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
The Robertshaw RS3110 replaces a 12 year Honeywell programmable thermostat which came with our forced air single stage gas furnace. Wiring is simple; just 2 wires between the furnace and thermostat. The new unit is easily mounted on an existing steel wall plate. I saved a lot of money doing the installation myself. The large digital display and large pushbuttons are big improvements over the Honeywell.
Comments about Robertshaw RS3110 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
I like the fact that the thermostat can be on the table in front of me during the programing.
Note: I added a LED to the circuit that tells me when the circulating pump is energized.

Comments about Robertshaw RS3110 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
While the unit is easy to install, I have to agree with an earlier reviewer who complained about the quality of the instruction sheet. Type is a bear to read in the illustrations and this made the installation much harder than it needed to be. Had to get out a magnifier to read some of them. It's all about attention to details = and this printing job needs lots of attention.

Comments about Robertshaw RS3110 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
I needed a thermostat that could be set with a differential (+/-) because I would get a horrible oil smell when my furnace cycled too fast with a precise thermostat. This one was perfect. Plus, the differential adjusts easily if need be.

Comments about Robertshaw RS3110 Digital Programmable Thermostat - 1 Heat / 1 Cool:
I bought two of these units to replace two Honeywell units. I thought they would be simple to install. Just follow the directions, label the wires as noted. Did that! However, how do you figure which wire goes where when the directions are badly printed and you cannot read the smeared printing? Go to their website to get a crisp version right? Wrong! Same thing. OK call tech support...not open on weekends. Not even the hardware store can figure out. OK I figured it out by calling an AC guy. No thanks to Robert Shaw!
