Reviews

I didn't give it 5 stars only because I've only had this thermostat running for 3 weeks now with no hiccups. It's fairly easy to program for each day of the week and can have multiple daily start/stop times, too. I started by opening up the old thermostat while it was operational, writing down all the wire connections,(I had 8) and then emailing that info to Honeywell tech support. They responded within 2 days with the correct wiring for the RTH7500. Installing was easy. Make sure the power is off to the compressor/pump and no voltages are on any of the wires before you install this thermostat. Also, if there is a big hole where the wires come through the wall, make sure you plug it up as best as you can. This could cause your thermostat to turn on more than it should. Hopefully it will have paid for itself by the end of winter.

This is my first programmable thermostat and I just wish I hadn't waited so long to get it. It was simple to install and program. The whole process took me about 30 minutes and I am not the most handy person in the world. Already paid for itself after the first heating bill.

I have 2 forced air systems that are 22 years old and I wanted to get 2 thermostats that I could use when I upgraded the system to a newer multi-stage system. These worked out of the box perfectly. I don't know how much money they will save me but they have been reliable so far. They have quite a number of settings but I've kept them pretty simple. I would definitely recommend them.

This was easy to install and program. The backlit light is perfect when and if you want to make a adjustment late at night.

Thermostat was easy to install and program. Directions were straightforward. Reads temperature accurately. Already saving me money on heating. I recommend it.
