4.0 out of 5 stars Good for 2 wire gas furnace, November 28, 2009

This review is from: Honeywell RTH2310B 5-2 Day Programmable Thermostat (Tools & Home Improvement)

The instructions don't tell whether this will work on a 2 wire gas furnace system, but it does. Just hooked the existing red wire to the Rc slot (which comes with a little jumper cable over to the Rh slot which I left in place). Hooked the white wire to the W slot and it works great. Removed an old 2 wire mercury switch. The system is heat only. It uses two AA batteries.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bug or feature?, March 25, 2009

This review is from: Honeywell RTH2310B 5-2 Day Programmable Thermostat (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this thermostat because its sleek design, with all the controls that aren't needed daily hidden under the front cover. If you have a life that follows a very simple program, then this thermostat will work for you. But if you leave the house on an irregular basis and you don't want to keep the house heated while you are gone, it doesn't. The problem is that if you leave the home and manually turn down the temperature, it will revert back to the programmed temperature after two hours. This is neither on the box nor in the user's manual documented. But if you call their hotline, they will tell you. So the options are to turn off the program, every time you leave the home, but then you'll have to leave off the snap-on front cover, which makes this unit much more ugly than the cluttered competition (the program button is hidden). Or you turn off the program completely and use the thermostat manually, which kind of defies the purpose of this unit.

This review is from: Honeywell RTH2310B 5-2 Day Programmable Thermostat (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've had two of these units in two years, and suffered through the same issue with both. After just a few months in the first unit, and a few weeks with the second unit both would not fire the furnace. They would indicate that the furnace was running and the manual blower controls would operate the blower, but they would not ignite the furnace. I tested the controls by switching back to an older manual unit and the furnace operated perfectly. Did a quick search and found a number of threads indicating similar problems. Seems that the unit can't supply the correct amperage to open the ignition circuit in a number of different units. Called Honeywell and found that not only to they have a completely useless Indian customer service group, they're hours are exactly the hours that I'm working or commuting and I'm a normal 9 to 5. So buy one if you feel lucky, but keep in mind that most people are going to write a positive review before it craps out on them. It's does a great job with cooling, but if you have a gas central heating and cooling system and you actually want heat in the winter SKIP THIS UNIT!

DON'T BUY ONE!
