I originally bought a single-stage Honeywell Digital Thermostat, but it was the wrong one. Apparently I needed a two-stage thermostat for a heat pump. This thermostat did the trick and was easy to install. It has a number of enhanced features that allow you put it in an automatic setting so you don't have to switch between heat and cool. A great two-stage digital thermostat for the money!

Very Versatile Thermostat. Will easily program to work with a number of different types of systems such as heatpump, oil and gas, electric, multistage units. I am very impressed with this one. Highly recommended!

I had this thermostat for about a month on a new furnace before replacing it with a TH7500D so I could have 7 day program-ability. It kept very even temps and is fairly easy to operate.

Be forewarned however that the ease or difficulty of the installation has almost nothing to do with the thermostat itself. It is determined by the equipment you have installed and the manner in which they were installed. Have a simple furnace wired using the standard scheme and it will be 15min easy. Have a heat pump with a two-stage fossil fuel backup,two stage AC that was installed by a non-conformist plumber and it may take a while to sort out. Use the labels include to label the wires as they are removed from the old. If your equipment or wire combo isn't in the install instructions call tech support.

You must use the manual to program it the first time because the screen just shows you a code that means nothing without the manual.

The instructions are very vague and do not help you at all. Had professionals confused. However after paying the $60 installation fee and working just fine now saved money on electricity bill.... Remember you have to program this thermostat for Heat Pump if you want it to work!

This model is normally not available to homeowners....only contractors...It is FAR superior to the same Focus Pro 6000 available to homeowners at your local hardware store. I highly recommend this model even though they say homeowners should only allow a licensed contractor install this unit. It has MANY awesome features that do need to be set properly, but I disagree with other reviewers who said the instructions are hard to follow and engineers and contractors could not understand the directions. I am not in the heating and air biz...I am not exactly Mr. Know it all...if I could figure this out so easily, anybody should be able to...The set-up and wiring was very easy.....It took me about 3 - 5 minutes to remove my old thermostat and wire this one up....very easy..(I have a 2/1 stage unit with emergency and aux heat, cool and etc..)....I was really sorta shocked it was so easy to wire up and the instructions were very clear, although not really needed..this is like the thermostat for dummies.....awesome features, but very, very easy for anybody to install, set up, program and etc.....After wiring the unit I went in to set-up....It was a breeze...lots of features...very easy to figure out how to set up all features, activate them, deactivate them and etc.....Only had it for 3 days now but so far I absolutely love it and would highly recommend this model. Do not be swayed by the talk of it being too hard to figure out and buy the homeowner model instead. There is no comparrison between the two...They are similarily priced, but this model has so many more features and is very easy to use.....And the features on this not available on the homeowner model will seriously save you some money and works very well to "work with your unit to ensure optimal efficiency as well as 'protecting' your system". I got mine for $50 which was actually cheaper then the Focus Pro 6000 'homeowner model' sold at Home Depot. And again, there is no comparrison...This model is so much better and is very easy for anybody to figure out...If I could do it so easily, I find it hard to believe that engineers and so called experts could not figure this out.....I mean it is so easy I just cant believe the reviews that say experts could not figure it out....Buy this model....you will not regret it and if you got past the 3rd grade, you wont have any problems installing this unit and setting it up....If I could install it in about 3 - 5 minutes, anybody can....Setting it up took about 10 - 15 minutes (probably less, but I was double checking every setting) as it does have about 20 or 30 'features' that need to be set...but each setting was a breeze and easy to understand....Once done, you just need to play with your scheduling to find the right temps and right schedule for your lifestyle...Lastly, since installing this I am now wondering if my old thermostat (was not that old...was a very nice programmable Bryant that I had no complaints with) was not "In Sync" with my heating/cooling system or maybe it was, but this models features make everything work better...My system now heats faster and cools faster in far less time and the unit runs about half as much as before I installed this unit...I am thoroughly impressed after only 3 days..well today is actually day 4......Great unit!!!

The thermostat seems to work well.

The instruction and operation booklet provided needs to be upgraded because it was hard to follow for a combination of a Master electrician and an engineer who actually reads booklets prior to pushing buttons. The means to set your thermostat are in paricular need of improvement.

Great product. I have bought several but have returned them...reason, unless you have the manual with some you cant program them. This one is intuitive. Only reason I marked it a 4, is that it does not have a back light that is on all the time. So if you want to walk by and check the temp, you have to hit a button to turn on the light. Make sure you hit the right button when you do that.

This product was easy to hook up,install and program. Has been working great for a month now. Keeps the house at set temp.
Climate Doctors packaged it well and showed up timely without a scratch. As always, easy to work with Amazon and get a good price.

This Honeywell TH6220 Thermostat is the best I have ever owned. It is easy to program and adjust. Wiring this thermostat is easy unless you own a Lennox heat pump(which I do) The Lennox heat pump is a good machine but they don't use standard wiring schematics. A quick call to my Lennox dealer and resolved the problem. Even after all that, I've had this unit for a couple years with no problems. Great buy!

I just had all new HVAC insatlled in the house. They installed a Venstar t1900 thermostat. That was junk. I requested (and got) a Honeywell replacement. I love it. It's very easy to use, controls are clearly labeled and you can choose from a variety of options as well as a fully programmable (5/2) function to help increase energy efficiency. I have almost always had a Honeywell thermostat in the houses where I've lived. I find them easy to use and reliable. I needed the TH6000 model due to fact that my new gas furnace has a two speed function.
