Amazon.com Product Description
Installing a programmable thermostat can save you hundreds of dollars in heating costs each year. These devices allow you to tell your furnace exactly when you want it to turn on and off, and they help you strike a balance between comfort and economy.

This model from Honeywell is fully programmable. It features four independent time zones per day, which means you can set it to heat to a certain temperature when you wake up, shut off when you leave for work, turn on again before you come home, then lower the temperature while you sleep. Each day is programmed separately, so you can change the settings for the weekend, for example.

If the word "programmable" makes you nervous, don't worry-the menu-driven software is very easy and intuitive to use. Note that you will have to hardwire the device to your power supply and to your heating unit-this isn't hard to do, but make sure you read the instructions thoroughly before you start.--Josh Dettweiler

Customer Reviews

Unpleasantly Surprised.
I purchased this product based on the many positive reviews it received.
Those who purchased the product seemed genuinely happy with the ease of installation as well as the quality of the product. When I opened the box and read the instructions, the first thing indicated was that this device is designed as a replacement for other heneywell thermostats. But, that it may be able to replace an older mercury-based thermostat if it had less than six wires. I pulled out my old mercury-based thermostat and counted seven wires. I called the Honeywell tech who quoted me be rote the instructions of counting the wires and then proceeded to tell me that I would have to have a professional install the unit. Needless to say, I re-installed my old thermostat and returned the unit. I received a very quick reimubursement, but I feel they should have advertised the unit as a honeywell thermostat replacement, just as the installation instructions did, and that the ease of installation rests entirely on it being a honeywell replacement. I would not have bothered getting it as my unit is not a honeywell.

Programable Dream!!!
I purchased two Honeywell 5-2 Day Programable Thremostats for my home. They were easy to install. However, you will need a small screwdriver like the one found in an eyeglass repair kit, which is not supplied. The thremostats are working perfectly and allow one to temporarily adjust the programmed settings instantly with the touch of a button. I highly recommend this thermostat.

More trash from Honeywell
It amazes me that you can't change the day of the week on Honeywell t-stats. Oh, I can easily set the worthless filter change reminder, but change the day of the week? Uhh..no can do. Usual POS Honeywell.
