## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have an automatic em setting?**
A: Settings are off, heating and AC. You can set the temperature within the degrees noted on them, but the setting is permanent until you set it manually again.  You can not schedule them to automatically go up or down as far as I can tell.   If you cannot take the limit of 76 degrees either in AC or heat this is not for you.  They also make them with a limit of 74 degrees that I got directly from the same company.  I don't know if Amazon carries it or not.  If this temperature limit is fine for you then it can save tons of money, especially if someone else has control of the settings.  This limit is locked into the thermostat.  You can not override it in any way.

**Q: I need a thermostat that has an adj for longer than 5 min, or 1 degree,  delay after temp is reached(cooling side)**
A: John, The CT74 Basic Tamper Proof Thermostat can be set to whatever temperature you select and will remain at that temperature until it is changed. The thermostat cannot be set lower than 74 for cooling or higher than 74 for heating.

**Q: Can I get it not to go below 76 cool**
A: This unit will go to 74 for cooling and heat. Our CT76 Basic Tamper Proof Thermostat will go no lower than 76 for cooling and no higher than 76 for heat.

**Q: Can this unit be used just for heat? no central a/c?**
A: Yes, the CT74 Basic Tamper Proof Thermostat can be used for a heat only single stage system.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Temperature controlled
*by L***A on November 28, 2024*

I really like that this thermostat is easy to install and won’t go above 74 degrees. It’s exactly what we needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect
*by A***Z on February 23, 2024*

We buy these for our rental properties in which we pay for utilities, and this helps so much so that the heat is set to a good temp.

### ⭐ I had to put one or I would have put none
*by A***R on March 27, 2024*

Piece of junk. No regulating all over the place. My gas bill is through the roof. I've replaced it and need to send this one back.
