    • Excellent Basic Programmable Thermostat
I can't believe I waited so long to replace the old mercury bubble thermostat on my hot water heat system. I noticed a friend had a new one, so I decided it was time to do some research here at Amazon. I wanted a vertical style to match the placement of the old one which narrowed the field considerably. I wanted a simple day/night setback and didn't need separate settings for weekends. I wanted simple controls and ease of temporary adjustment. This one fit the bill perfectly. Installation was a breeze. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. My two-wire system connected to the Rh (Red - heat) and W (White) terminals. The wires weren't that color (probably the original 90 year old wires!) so I either guessed right or, more likely, it would have worked if they were reversed since it's simply an open/close switch to activate the heater. I even reused the mounting screws from the old unit - sweet! Stop by your local Dollar Store and pick up a mini screwdriver set if you don't have one. Programming is straightforward, and again the instructions are clear. It comes preprogrammed with four periods - Wake, Leave, Return, and Sleep. It's easy to adjust these to your desired time/temp. I skipped two of them completely by simply pressing the Hold button for four seconds while that period was displayed during setup. Believe me, you'll be tweaking your settings with abandon after the first run-through... it's that easy. I love the simplicity of the display. What's the current temp? Look at the screen. You're a bit cold? Tap the up arrow once and read the setpoint; tap it again to temporarily raise the setpoint one degree, again for two degrees, etc. The unit will retain your temporary setting until the next programed change (e.g. night setback) or until you press the Run button. Going away for a couple of days? Tap in the desired setpoint and press Hold. Simply press Run again when you get home. As noted in other reviews, there is no backlight in the display. You can download the installation and user's manual at the Honeywell website to get a peek at how it works. Be sure to note the Configuration Menu in the installation instructions. I had to change the "Heating Cycles per Hour" setting to "3" (for my hot water system) from the default "5" setting. What is Heating Cycles per Hour, you ask? It's a means to fine-tune the efficiency of the system's attempts to maintain your desired temperature. It's ONLY active when you're within a degree or so of the setpoint temperature. Here's how it works: Say, your setpoint temperature is 70°. As the heater brings the room air temp up towards the setpoint, an anticipator circuit cuts off the heat at a predetermined value, say 69° to keep from overshooting your requested 70°. Ideally, the residual heat from your burner/blower/fan/radiator will gently nudge the air temp up to 70°, and all is right with the world. So far we have: temp below 69°, run heater; temp above 70°, stop heater. But what happens between 69° and 70°? What if there wasn't enough residual heat to get to 70°? Or what if your furnace isn't sized properly, or your insulation is weak, or the kids left a window open? Where's that 70° you requested? This is where you heater starts cycling. My "Cycles per Hour" is set to 3, which means 3 twenty minute cycles each hour consisting of 10 minutes OFF, 10 minutes ON. When the air temp hit 69° the heater stopped for 10 minutes, hoping the air temp will reach the magic 70°. 10 minutes later it takes a peek at the temp... 70° or above? Great! Job done. No cycling involved. Oops - only 69.3°? - start up again for 10 minutes, shut down, wait 10 minutes and check again. 69.8° this time? Start up again for 10 minutes and another cycle. This time, let's say the temp hit 70° after 8 minutes of heat. Great! - job done, shut off heat and stop cycling. It might overshoot to about 70.3° this time - well within your comfort zone. Now, sit warm and cozy in front of the TV as the temp slowly falls from 70.3° to 69° and listen for the cycling to begin again. If you're well insulated, it's a fairly mild night, and your heater is sized properly, it might go through a cycle every couple of hours. If there's a blizzard blowing outside your poorly insulated shack, it might cycle on and off every 10 minutes, or even stay on constantly if it can't get you above 69°. To recap: Temp below setpoint minus one: heater ON. Temp above setpoint: heater OFF. In between: cycle ON and OFF in attempt to efficiently get to setpoint without too much overshoot. Why? A heater is more efficient running longer cycles rather than rapid On/Off cycles. A heater with a lot of "thermal inertia" - like my hot water system, takes a while for those warm radiators to gently get the air temperature to the desired setpoint... it needs cycles a bit longer to be efficient and effective. A rapid heat system, like an electric wall heater, will get that air temp up quickly - it needs a higher cycle rate / shorter 'burn' time to stay efficient and avoid overshoots. In fact, the cycle rate for electric heat is 9: that's 9 cycles of 6.7 minutes per hour. Air conditioning cycle/hour is fixed at 3. One more thing: if you want the fancier model, the Honeywell TH2110D1009 is the same unit, but with backlight, 5/2 day programming, and something called "Adaptive Intelligent Recovery" which learns how fast your heater gets you to your desired temperature so that you can program it to BE at a given temperature at a given time... handy for those early morning middle-of-winter wake ups! Be sure to properly dispose of that mercury! Enjoy! ... show more

    • Simple to Use and Reliable — Perfect for Basic Temperature Control
Size: 3.5H x 4.75W x 1D (in.) Style: Contemporary
This thermostat does exactly what it’s meant to, keeps your home at a comfortable temperature without any complicated setup. Installation was quick and straightforward, even for someone who’s not super handy. The instructions were clear, and it powered right up once connected. The display is easy to read, and the programmable feature is great for setting different temps during the day and night. It’s not fancy or smart-home compatible, but that’s also what I like about it, fewer buttons, fewer issues. Once set, it keeps the temperature steady and accurate, and it’s easy to adjust when needed. If you’re looking for a no-frills, dependable thermostat that just works, this one’s a solid choice. Pro tip: double-check your wiring before installing, it makes the whole process even smoother. ... show more

    • Simple replacement for round Honeywell thermostats
Replaced some old mercury 2-wire thermostats for my oil-fired furnace. No a/c. Wanted programable, but that was about it. These fit the bill. If you want each day to be individually programable, then you will need the more expensive model. This one is about half that price. This one is simple to set and simple to override if you want. Installation is easy. Remove old 'stat (note which wire was connected to which terminal, say red or white), feed the wires through the baseplate from the new thermostat and attach with the 2 included anchors and screws to the wall), and then screw the wires under the approriate set screw terminal locations that are labeled on the baseplate. For example red to red-heat (r-h), white to white. Add 2 AAA batteries (not included)to the thermostat cover and snap into place. Then program with time and set temperatures. I did four thermostats. The first one took about 25 minutes (most of the time making sure I knew which wire to hook to which terminal), the other 3 took about 10-15 minutes each. One other note. I found one degree of variation from other digital thermometers (if you check it against another one) but once set it is very stable. Update: Corrected battery size to 2-AAA. - Battery replacement is a snap ... less that 5 minutes each thermostat. Loosen the bottom set screw a couple turns (don't back out completely or you may loose it) and pull of cover from the bottom. Batteries are located in the cover and if you replace them right away you don't lose your settings. Reattach to base by setting the top first and then closing in the bottom, you can tighten the screw to hold in place. - There remains a difference between the temperature reported by the thermmostat and my other, professional indoor outdoor thermometer. These thermostats are off by about one to two degrees higher. When the actual temperature is 70F, these four read 71F or 72F. In other words, the actual temperature is about 1 to 2 degrees lower than what these thermostats show. - Two of my thermostats have the sensing thermocouples sealed (silicone?) to the inside of the cover. The other two are not sealed and I actually placed them so that they are outside the cover when installed. Doesn't seem to make a difference in performance. Still get the mismatch with actual temperature, but performance is stable. - The temporary and permanent hold features is are nice and easy to use ... particularly as a preventative measure to accomodate those family members you don't want messing around with the programing. - Would be nice if these lit up when a button is pressed. Would be much easier to read. Not a showstopper. ... show more
