Ditra Heat Touchscreen Programmable Floor Heating Thermostat 120v/240v DITRA-HEAT-E-RT

This is a replacement after 10 years. The last one I installed about 6 months ago had a problem setting it up but Schutler rep walked me through it and was a quick fix. I kept his emails and theis one was a breeze to install

This is the 2nd location on my property where I have this thermostat installed. One for heat coils under a wood floor and this most recent install to replace a Honeywell thermostat controlling coils under a 290-sqft tile floor. I really like the ease of install, set-up, and programming of these thermostats. One item that may catch a DIYer off guard is when you set up the thermostat it asks you for floor heating coil load. Well I installed this floor 6 years ago and no longer have that information. For what it's worth the thermostat uses this data to more accurately calculate the usage statistics so I don't *think* it has any impact on actual functionality (at least none that I can see). That said a quick Google on the topic found an explanation from Warmly Yours that gets you close enough if you want to use this feature. Take the square footage of heated area (note this is NOT necessarily the square footage of your room since heating coils are not ran under cabinets, or maybe not in a closet, etc.). Anyway take the best guess of square footage of the heated area, multiply that by 15W for a tile floor or 12W for a laminate floor (these wattage numbers are pretty standard for electric floor heating coils)... then divide that result by 1000 to get the load in kW. For example my heated floor area is 290 square feet x 15W = 4350... then 4350/1000=4.35kW which is what you should set your thermostat to when asked the floor load in kW. I hope that helps a DIY person set up your thermostat as I was stumped when I first encountered the question. All in all, the new thermostat has only been installed for 2 days but is working as it should. An identical thermostat at my cabin in Northern WI has been installed for 5 years and it too is working well for me. Assuming my new one functions for an acceptable period of time I will definitely buy again!!!

It’s easy to program with 6 different set times available for each day of the week. Keeps track of energy usage.

Was delivered in a timely manner. Easy instal.

Thermostat was very easy to install and is very user friendly. Both the build and software are top quality. It works very well. Time will tell, but I'm very happy right now.
