<h3>Reviews</h3>

<p class="aw_review">I would have given this 5 stars except the installation guide did not have enough details for a heat pump system with aux heat...7 wires worth. Plus, an important jump reference in the guide was a few pages off.  Had to call the 24-hr. 800 number to get into the system setup. They were VERY helpful; turned out one button had to be held down more than the guide indicated - about 15+ seconds rather than 5 seconds.

The thermostat has worked flawlessly and we are pleased with the operation and options. Very satisfied with this versatile unit, and the low price, makes this is a very best buy!!!</p>
<p class="aw_review">This was easy to install and program. My old thermostat kept track of how long the A\C or heat ran each day, a feature I miss. The backlit light is perfect when and if you want to make a adjustment late at night. I like this product and recommend it.</p>
<p class="aw_review">I really like the size of the screen. It is easy to read. 
My old digital thermostat had a tiny screen. It was very hard to read. The Honeywell RTH7500D has a nice large screen that is easy to read and easy on the eyes. 
It was easy for me to install as I was replacing it with a similar digital thermostat. 
I'm very happy with the Honeywell RTH7500D.    The only change I would have made is going to a touch screen which is more of my personal preference. 
Read all the directions first, before the install.

</p>
<p class="aw_review">The product fulfilled all expectations. Now my house temperature is more constant and in the limits I have prescribed. It helped evening out the temperature between first and second floor.

Only drawback is that the AC Compressor now starts more often than before, but I guess it is to be expected to better control temperature.</p>
<p class="aw_review">I have a simple system, no heat pump, so I decided I would install this unit myself.  I had a few questions about wiring, and the helpline was indeed very helpful.  The gentleman assured me I was doing everything right, and even told me how to program the unit for my specific needs as a Florida resident.  I have programmed the unit for each day, and this unit's accuracy is spot on.  I would recommend this unit for anyone who wants advanced features w/o needing a touch screen to program.</p>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">Honeywell Vision Pro 8000 Digital Thermostat</p>
</div></a>In the hunt for programmable thermostats that are easy to install and operate, we came across the <a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/go/amazon.php?asin=B000UVUGVC">Honeywell Vision Pro 8000 Digital Thermostat</a>.  The first thing that caught our attention was the large digital display, which makes it easy to read and use.  Maybe it's my age, but I hate having to squint at a thermostat to figure out what the temperature is in my home.  This <a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/programmable-thermostats/">programmable thermostat</a> is really easy to read.</p>
<p>Of course, a large display doesn't make the Honeywell a great thermostat.  The Vision Pro 8000 is a 7-day programmable thermostat.  You get multiple hold options that allow you to easily override any program.  And it even comes with a humidity gauge.  Here are the key features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Effortless, Menu-Driven Programming - Simplifies programming by responding to your choices</li>
<li>7-Day Programming - Allows separate programming for each day</li>
<li>Large, Clear Backlit Digital Display - Easy-to-read in various lighting conditions</li>
<li>Change/Check Reminders - Let you know when to service or replace filters, batteries, etc.</li>
<li>Energy Savings - Program to save up to 33% on annual heating and cooling costs (If used as directed.  Savings may vary depending on geographic region and usage)</li>
<li>Precise Comfort Control - Maintains consistent comfort to the highest level of accuracy</li>
<li>Built-In Humidity Sensor - Displays current humidity and select models allows you to control dehumidification</li>
<li>Real-Time Clock - Keeps time during power failures and automatically updates for daylight savings</li>
<li>Multiple HOLD Options - Allows you to override the program schedule as desired, with temporary and vacation hold settings.</li>
<li>Model Numbers - TH8110U1003, TH8320U1008, TH8321U1006</li>
<li>5-Year Warranty</li>
</ul>
<p>There's one last feature to keep in mind.  Sometimes we want the thermostat somewhere convenient, but the temperature gauge some place else.  With the Honeywell Vision Pro 8000, you can buy an <a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/go/amazon.php?asin=B00097BDT6">indoor sensor</a> to place where you want the temperature reading to occur.  The sensor communicates the temerature to the thermostat, and frees you up to place the programmable thermostat in a more convenient location in your home.</p>

<h3>Reviews</h3>

<p class="aw_review">Had the thermostat professionally install by my electrician back in May.
It works well; very easy to use.  You can adjust temperature up or down with a simple touch if you need to.
</p>
<p class="aw_review">I put this in at the recommendation of my brother who is in the HVAC business. They service multi-million dollar homes & this is the thermostat that is used in most of them to keep their homes comfortable with minimal adjustment. you can just set this thing up and forget about it.
It has 4 different settings for each day of the week, for heat and cool.(Wake, Leave, Home, Sleep) My old one had settings for weekdays and weekends only which is a problem if you weekends don't always fall on Saturday and Sunday. the only time I need to adjust this one is when the weather changes drastically & I switch to heat or cool.
It was simple to install and set up. the mounting holes lined up perfectly with the one I replaced so no new holes were needed.</p>
<p class="aw_review">It is very easy to install. It replaced a 15 yr old Honeywell. I always use a great thermostat to spend my MONEY...!!</p>
<p class="aw_review">Of course, we all know that real men don't need heat, and even if you do, you ought to be fine with a lever, a spring, and a vial of mercury.  So I felt a little silly ordering this.  But once I got over that, I realized that this is a truly great thermostat.  Here's why:

1: It's confusing - anything except a temporary override requires several screens and sequences of commands.  It's enough to deter even the most determined women, who are undoubtedly trying to make the place into some kind of "heat nest".

2: It's lockable!  That's right, you can lock everyone out from modifying the thermostat!  And even if you don't want to go that far, you can set limits on what the temperature can be set to.  Awesome!

3: And this is the best one of all....  You can program it to show a different temperature than the actual temperature!!! For obvious reasons, this is the best feature ever built into any thermostat since the dawn of time.  It takes some digging to get through the manuals to figure out how to do it, but it's worth it.  Here's how a conversation about an actual temperature of 68 degrees might go:

Woman:  "Honey, it's awfully cold in here, can we turn up the heat?"

Man:  "It's already 85 degrees in here."

Woman:  "It can't be...  (gets up and checks thermostat)...  Hmmph, I guess you're right."

Man:  "Maybe you should take some more thyroid medicine.  And while you're up, make me a sandwich."

Ask yourself - does it really get any better than that?

As much as I love this thermostat, it could be improved by having some sort of fingerprint scanner, or retina ID device on it, allowing only certain people access to the thermostat.  But since no competing models yet offer this feature, this is about as good as it gets for keeping YOUR castle at YOUR temperature.

</p>
<p class="aw_review">We received the thermostat timely.  It was very easy to install and a very simple and efficient unit.  I would definitely recommend this unit to people.</p>

</div></a>Window air conditions and space heaters can add welcome comfort to our homes.  But these units have two really big problems. First, they aren't very efficient in many cases, costing a lot of money in wasted energy.  And second, controlling the temperature with these portable units can be really difficult.  The WIN100 programmable outlet thermostat can help to solve both of these problems with one low cost gadget.</p>
<p>So here's how the programmable outlet thermstat works.  Simply set the desired temperature much like you would set a <a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/lux-products-tx9000ts-touch-screen-7-day-programmable-thermostat/">programmable thermostat</a>.  With this feature, for example, you can set the space heater to warm up a room when you wake up or return home from work.  The WIN100 can be set for anywhere between 45 and 90 degrees.  And it doesn't have to be plugged in to be programmed, which makes setting the desired temperature a lot easier.  Once set, simply plug it in and plug your air conditioner or space heater into the programmable outlet.</p>
<p>Here are the details:</p>

<h3>Reviews</h3>

<p class="aw_review">This unit seemed like sort of a gimmick, but it actually works.  It took a bit of set-up and time to get it acclimated/calibrated to the room.  I would recommend the unit if you have an air conditioner without econ mode.</p>
<p class="aw_review">This product works as advertized.  I use it to control a solar heater on my swimming pool pump.</p>
<p class="aw_review">This is just the ticket for those of us with a window evaporative cooler. Most heaters and air conditioners have thermostats built in but evaporative coolers have none. Now I can sleep through the nite without waking to turn off or turn on the unit.</p>
<p class="aw_review">I have 2 dogs and 2 dog houses. Prior to this winter, only one of the dog houses had a heating mat as one dog is furrier and fatter and didn't really need extra warmth. However, the fat dog started switching dog houses and the skinny dog would be freezing in the non-heated house. We put mats in both houses but wanted a way so that they didn't have to stay on all the time but only when the weather was cold (also so we could avoid going outside twice a day to switch them on and off). I bought this thermostat and set it up to come on whenever the temperature dropped into the 40's. If it warmed up the next morning it would go off automatically. It solved my problem and my dogs stayed warm! I hope it keeps working for the next few years.</p>
<p class="aw_review">I bought 3 of these programmable outlet thermostats last summer and I just bought 2 more for this summer. I use them to control 5 room air conditioners have built into the walls.  Each of the a/c's did not have an economy setting.  Once the room was cool, the fan on the a/c stayed on all the time.  The temperature controls on the a/c's were also unreliable and inconsistent.  I got these thermostats to control the a/c's, make the temperature more consistent and keep my electric bills down.  

The WIN100's were very easy to program and work perfectly.  When the room reaches the programmed temperature, the outlet shuts the a/c off and it kicks back on when needed.  Before, the fan on the a/c ran all the time.  I can also program what times I want the a/c's to run and what temperatures I want during those times.  There's settings for morning, midday, evening and nightime. Keeps my 14 year old daughter from leaving her a/c on all day at 68 degrees!!! When I want to open the windows, I just use the on/off button the side of the WIN100.  When its in the off position, the ac doesn't come on at all.  There is a battery backup so if you lose power, you don't have to reprogram the unit.  This also makes it easier to program, since you can enter your programming when the WIN100 is out of the electrical outlet where it's easier to see, and then you can plug it in after. (keeps you from crawling on the floor to program it!!).  And the WIN100 has an override feature.  If you want the room temporarily cooler or warmer without changing the programs, you can just use the arrow keys to raise or lower the temperature on the outlet.

I highly recommend this outlet thermostat.  It also works the heaters too but I only use it for my airconditioners.</p>

</p><p>One of the easiest ways to save money and energy in your home is to use a programmable thermostat.  The average household spends $2,200 a year on energy bills and half of that goes towards heating and cooling.  By properly setting a programmable thermostat you could save about $180 a year on your energy bill.  </p>
<p>An Energy Star qualified programmable thermostat offers four programmable settings to regulate your homes temperature in the summer and winter and when you are asleep and away.  By maintaining the settings you will see a decrease in the amount of energy used without sacrificing comfort.  The key to using a programmable thermostat is to establish your settings so your heating and cooling is automatically reduced when you don’t need it as much.  It sounds simple, but in the long run it will save you money and also help reduce global warming.  </p>
<p>There are many different brands of programmable thermostats available, but it is recommended to choose one that is Energy Star qualified.  Energy Star thermostats come preprogrammed with  suggested temperatures and set point times, however, you can adjust these settings if they don't coincide with your schedule.  Below shows the preprogrammed settings to give you an idea of how it works.<br />
<span id="more-1528"></span><br />
<a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/energystar-recommended.png"><img src="http://energysavinggadgets.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/energystar-recommended.png" alt="energystar-recommended" title="energystar-recommended" width="438" height="262" class="alignright<br />
 size-full wp-image-1732" /></a></p>
<p>When choosing a programmable thermostat you should pick one that best works with your schedule.  There are three models to choose from:  7-day models, 5+2-day models, and 5-1-1 models.  </p>
<li><strong>7-day models</strong> are best if your daily schedule tends to change, say, if children are at home earlier on some days. They give you the most flexibility, and let you set different programs for different days — usually with four possible temperature periods per day.</li>
<li><strong>5+2-day models</strong> use the same schedule every weekday, and another for weekends.</li>
<li><strong>5-1-1 models</strong> are best if you tend to keep one schedule Monday through Friday and another schedule on Saturdays and Sundays.</li>
<p> <!--more--><br />
As you can see, you should consider your schedule before making your purchase so you find one that works best for your household.  Amazon has a wide selection of programmable thermostats to choose from.  Three top models that have ranked well and are Energy Star approved are <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FWZ7I2?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=energysavinggadgets-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B001FWZ7I2">Honeywell RTH6400D</a>,  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ALGM24?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=energysavinggadgets-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B000ALGM24">Hunter 44550</a> and  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I7MANA?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=energysavinggadgets-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B000I7MANA">Lux Products TX9000TS</a>.  These thermostats are all reasonably priced and will pay for themselves before you know it.  You might have your thermostat be professionally installed and generally that can cost you a few hundred dollars, but it all depends on your current set up.  However, once installed you will start regulating your energy usage right away and start saving.     </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/conserve-energy-and-save-money-even-when-your-away/" title="Permanent link to Conserve Energy Money With the Ecobee Smart Thermostat"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://energysavinggadgets.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/consumer_po1.png" width="235" height="150" alt="Ecobee Smart Thermostat" /></a>
</p><p>One sure way to lower your heating and cooling bill is to use a programmable thermostat.   The <a href="http://www.ecobee.com/">ecobee Smart Thermostat </a>is designed to help you save money and conserve energy all while reducing your impact on the environment.  It is easy to use with its touch screen programming and can be accessed by using your personalized web portal when you are away.  </p>
<p>The ecobee Smart Thermostat allows you to program the thermostat by setting your desired temperature for when you are home and when you are away.  The temperature can be customized based on the time of day and the day of the week.  For example, if you are not home Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm you can set one desired temperature for those hours.  If you normally return home at 6pm, the thermostat can programmed to automatically change the temperature at that time, so you are only using energy when you need it.    You can customize the temperature to fit your lifestyle and this will allow you to save energy and money.</p>
<p>The easy to read main menu has several options for you to choose from.  One option is the vacation button which is designed to maintain an energy efficient home when you’re gone for an extended period.  You can program your vacation ahead of time by pressing the vacation button and choosing a start and end date.  You then select your desired temperature and while you’re gone your can rest assure you won’t be wasting energy.  </p>
<p>By touching the weather button, the ecobee Smart Thermostat will show you the current days forecast.  You can also view the five day forecast for your area and this can be a helpful tool when programming your thermostat for the week.   </p>
<p>If you are away from home you can still make any necessary adjustments to the temperature in your home by having complete access to the thermostat via the web.  You can log on, make any changes needed and still save on energy without even being home.  </p>
<p>The ecobee Smart Thermostat retails for $385.  If this is out of your price range there are <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I7MANA?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=energysavinggadgets-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B000I7MANA">similar programmable thermostats</a> on Amazon, as well as Ebay.    </p>

<h3>Reviews</h3>

<p class="aw_review">I've had this thermostat for nearly two years and have found it to be easy to program and use.  I like that I can have it turn on and off in the morning and in the evening, so I save on energy costs during the day.</p>
<p class="aw_review">Have had this thermostat for about 6 months and am loving it. It's reliable and easy to program. Great extra features, too, like the adjustable filter change reminder and the energy monitor. Program 4 cycles per day, and if you want to use the same programming on Tuesday as you did for Monday, you just hit the "copy" button and it automatically inputs those settings for you. No sitting there and entering the same 10 button sequence 5 times for Monday - Friday.

Highly recommend the WP9000TS Wallplate for Lux Products TX9000TS. Just added this for $2, free shipping, and it definitely enhances the asthetic appeal (if there is such a thing for a thermostat!). Buy it when you purchase the thermostat, so you don't have to take the thermostat off later to add the wall plate.

********************
UPDATE - JULY 6, 2010
********************
Have started having problems with the thermostat about two weeks ago (Have had it since January 2010). Now, when I try to program it, after pressing the touchscreen 3-4 times (for example, while trying to program the current time), the screen resets (as in, all characters on the screen light up and stay lit, and I can't do anything else). The problem has persisted. The only thing the thermostat will now do is hold a set temperature, and even then, it resets after a day or two and does nothing until the batteries are pulled out for a few minutes.

Will let you know how the returns process goes. The owner's manual says it has a 3-year warranty instructs me to return it to Amazon; however, Amazon won't let me return it because it has been more than 90 days. Contacted Lux directly and we'll see what they say.</p>
<p class="aw_review">I can't say enough about this product. bought a two story 2854 sq ft house. Got the first electric bill and it was $370 (bulging eyes). At that moment i went online and bought two Lux TX9000TS after reading reviews for the two units in my home. my next bill with those two Lux units controlling my a/c units the whole time was $125. that's almost a third of the cost of running the a/c units with the original controllers. it paid for itself in one month...</p>
<p class="aw_review">Delivered promptly just as promised.  No issues to report and has been installed for a little over two weeks.  Love the light!</p>
<p class="aw_review">I have been using this thermostat for a month and it works well, is easy to adjust and provides data regarding furnace filters and time running.  I highly recommend it.</p>

<p>The thermostat is very easy to install and once installed all you need to do is plug in the adaptor, which is included with the kit. This allows you to remotely control the thermostat in any room, and it will hold the information that you program in. Once it does, you just have to push a button for the temperature mode you desire.  For example, you could pre-program one mode for bed time, one for when you wake up in the morning, and one for when you are away from home.</p>
<p>The Venstar T1700 will help you save energy by reducing the temperature settings automatically at times and temperatures you choose.  And with the remote control feature, you’ll never have to climb out of bed to adjust the settings.</p>

<li>Touch pad programming.</li>
<li>Transmits up to 500 feet and it transmits through concrete floors and walls easily.</li>
