Is there an energy/usage monitor on this unit? Basically a number of hours indicating the furnace was on during a day/week, etc.

Hello, the unit does not track usage, it only programs schedules. Hope this helps.

Hello, no this does not display the current CO2 level in the house. Mine has never detected has but it has a test button and the alarm is audible throughout my entire house (1700 sq ft.). There is a constant green light on and dashes across the screen indicating it is on. The unit comes with an instruction booklet that explains the display and what to do if the device goes off. We have a gas furnace and it's peace of mind to have this. I live in Oklahoma and just recently a house exploded from a gas leak. This would undoubtedly warn me if levels rose that high so that myself and proper authorities could take action. Hello, no this does not display the current CO2 level in the house.

I just started testing using a "kill a watt" meter($20) in cleveland. Skies that look like an ad for prozac. 65 watt max so far with 1killowatt hour accumulated over 1 week. My garage roof angle isn't the best(west). More data soon, follow up. Kw is a load measurement, kwhour is accumulated consumption.

Like many thermostats it is powered by the battery only (at least in my gas furnace only configuration). The battery seems to last about 2 years.

Yes. It does show current temp in home. To be accurate, it displays the current temp in the room where the unit is installed.

Mine runs quite a bit. I use it during the day when I'm not home and at night so my propane furnace doesn't need to run so much in my 800 sq. ft. house. In October my electric bill only went up $15.

Yes. It's supposed to be an indication that the unit is powered. Don't know why they included it but it is supposed to remain on.

Sorry for your affliction. This machine seems as advertised. I got a couple of hygrometers to measure the humidification and it helps, but it was also summer/air conditioning season. I'd withhold judgment until I got through a winter with the dry heat of my electric furnace.

No.....We run an electric motor (furnace fan set to run constantly) off the same outlet. The system only uses the outlet to power the bulb.

Yep. It indicates that the unit is powered up. When the temp drops, the heat and fan start up.

I had the same question - so I connect one unit into a WattMeter (measures accumulated power (KWph). Turned the unit on with the remote but nothing plugged into it. It has been running now for 6.5 days and the WattMeter shows that ONLY 0.08kw has been used. Remarkable !!! That works out to 0.012Kw per day or projecting out for a month would be 0.3g9Kw. An excellent product with MANY possible applications!

Yes, when the furnace is running the screen is orange. It is blue when the AC is running and black when nothing is running or if it is in Away mode, either set to away by you or timed out because it didn't sense movement in the house.

Allows you to determine how long the heater is on, saving some electricity when its off.

It will monitor total wattage. But you will know how much each individual device consume once you turn it on.

Im' not sure it was sometime ago, check to see if wiring is polarity sensitive +-, I do remember that when first connected it it took about 20 sec. to turn on the furnace, and it has to be set about 10 higher than you want the temp. Benefits of modern technology? hopes this helps

It should work just fine. I've used one for the past two winters to measure just how long the furnace runs. I used one last summer to see how much the house AC ran. Mine sits on the vent. The key is to place the unit where it will measure the maximum temperate swings as the AC/heater cycles. Another unit sits in greenhouse and is placed away from the heater as I want to know the temperature that the plants are at. I can still tell when the heater is on - for the most part - but the temperature swings are small and hard to see precisely.

no it is just automatic or understood that it is on whenever the unit is running for heat/fan
