| I'm looking at getting a new thermostat and just wondered what experienced people thought, what brand is recommended and good value, also where to get one online. Any recommendations? |

| I use habistat pulse stats. They are very very reliable with temperature variance, within less than a degree difference most of the time. I haven't used the non pulse stat ones but I have used the microclimate ones and they were terrible - about 6 degrees variance! |

| Same as Moppet - though I use Microclimate pulse stats - they are very good, I'd never go back to Microclimate on/off stats, there was at least 4 degrees temperature swing with those. The pulse stats keep the temperature really stable - it only varies 0.1 degree, if at all. |

I'm the same as you Razee, tried the microclimate on/off and wasn't at all happy with the large difference in temp. Am very happy with the Habistat dimmer and pulse stats that I've got.
You say you have a Habistat stat Luke....which one is it? Personally I wouldn't be happy with the temp getting as high as 31oC. May be worth tweaking it down a bit.
