4.0 out of 5 stars Wiring can be tricky, July 20, 2008

By	Spud (Long Island) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Honeywell RTH7500D Conventional 7-Day Programmable Thermostat (Tools & Hardware)

This review is from the perspective of a novice. I replaced an 11-year-old thermostat with this one yesterday morning.

Installation was not a breeze as the claim on the product package would like you to believe (i.e., "designed to install in 15 minutes or less.") We have a 5-ton split central unit with the condenser outside of the house, and the coil and a gas furnace in the attic. Matching the wires to the new thermostat was not that straightforward. Our old system has 5 wires but the Intallation Guide only shows an example with 4 wires. After failing a few configurations, I finally gave up and called for technical support. The puzzle was then resolved.

Programming was mostly simple and easy but not always intuitive. You do need to read the Manual to figure a number of things out. An alternative may be the 8500 Touchscreen model, which seems to have more intuitive programming based on reviews from Amazon users.

Overall, I would recommend this thermostat. Just make sure that you do your installation during office hours when technical support is available from Honeywell.

3.0 out of 5 stars programming difficulty, December 17, 2007

By	Jon T. Stoddard "Former programmer" (Connecticut) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Honeywell RTH7500D Conventional 7-Day Programmable Thermostat (Tools & Hardware)

Easy to install and programming buttons are easy to understand. It is the display that is difficult to understand. Be very careful about the check mark before the days of the week. When you make a temperature input it will apply to EVERY day that has a check mark and erase what you previously inputted. You have to cycle through the days twice to eliminate the CHECK marks for the other days to enter in data for just one day.

There is room on the display to show you all your heating or cooling temperature settings for each day of the week, but they neglected to provide this so it is very difficult to review your inputs to be sure they are right and to correct for CHECK mark errors from above.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product ... but doesn't install in 15 minutes, February 1, 2009

I recently installed this t-stat and recommend it. However, there are a few things you need to know upfront to make the installation process a little smoother.

I had a direct swap with a manual Honeywell t-stat, so the wiring was easy and even the previously drilled holes worked. I envision that it was the easiest installation possible, yet it took me 45 minutes to get it done ... when programming time is included. I have a gas furnace with A/C, and I'm guessing things like heat pumps, multi-stage units, etc. can be trickier. So don't bank on the "15 minute installation" that you read on the packaging. That might be true for Honeywell engineers and HVAC technicians, but not if you're doing this for the first time.

Secondly, read through all of the installation and programming instructions first, including the advanced section, even if you don't think you'll need it. That allows you to get the limited tools together you'll need. Also the advanced section shows you how to change some settings that are referenced in the basic set-up section ... but don't appear on your t-stat until they are activated by you - using the advanced section.
