Difference Between a Mechanical and Electronic Thermostat?

Do you know the short difference of a mechanical and electronic thermostat? D These thermostats have different internals that make them operate more accurately and responsively than non-digital thermostats. 

How Do Electronic Thermostats Work?

Electronic thermostats have digital sensors to read the room temperature. They're much more accurate and responsive than mechanical thermostats, which means your room should stay within 1 degree of the temperature you set on the thermostat. 

The E-Top HT-68 seriers is a great choice for a non-programmable electronic thermostat. This thermostat has touch controls and a backlit display with large, easy-to-read content. Just set it and forget it!

How to select the correct thermostat

Even though mechanical thermostats aren't as responsive as electronic thermostats, our CEO Mr. Hong says that some people want to use a thermostat like an on and off switch. In this case, mechanical thermostats are an excellent choice because they are more affordable than their electronic counterparts.

Mechanical thermostats are also best suited when dealing with a space that uses a generator, solar power, or in places that are prone to power surges. This type of thermostat is highly recommended because they are generally very reliable, consistent, and there are no electronic components.

Note: Electronic thermostats aren't designed to withstand a certain amount of power or inconsistency. Power surges or "noise" on a power line could potentially fry their electronic components.
