Honeywell Programmable Thermostats

As a leader on the HVAC market and especially the heating industry, Honeywell offers an extremely diverse heating and heat control product list. Of this list, the most important products are their thermostats, which are used by technicians, contractors and homeowners throughout the world. They have thermostats which have revolutionized the heating control industry and are among the most reliable in the HVAC industry, offering high quality services and extreme accuracy. Their thermostats can be either programmable or non-programmable. Let’s take a look at the programmable thermostats section.

The programmable thermostats fall into two categories: the Professionally Installed Programmable Thermostats and the do it Yourself Programmable Thermostats. Both thermostat series offer a large variety of configurations and performances, the main difference being that with the Professionally Installed thermostats you will want to call in some HVAC professionals to install the device for you, while with the do it Yourself thermostat, the installation process will most likely seem easier, thus you will be able to set it up yourself. Any way you choose to install it, the programmable thermostat will most likely save you money on your utility bill, if used right. You will be able to save up on energy, by programming the thermostat to reduce temperature adjustment while you are away, or while you are sleeping and then program it to return to full-power once you get up in the morning, or once you come back home.

A professionally installed thermostat will ensure proper cooling and heating system operation and will relieve you of the risks of personal installation and first time programming. Professionally installed thermostats should be used when you need a thermostat for your furnace or air conditioner, although it can be used in any other HVAC heating or air conditioning component, as long as it can sustain a thermostat. Honeywell professionally installed thermostats include: the Electric Heat Thermostat, the Honeywell Focus PRO Thermostat and the Vision PRO Thermostat models.

The Electric Heat Thermostat model is a real energy saver, while also being able to provide a consistent comfort rating. It is definitely one of the most advanced and most performance electric heating thermostat you could find. Some of its most distinctive features include a sophisticated, yet easy to understand design, high-end programming features, the possibility to use a pre-set 7 day program that will save up to 15% of your energy costs, a quiet operation environment (also being soundproof against the clicking noises that occur on other thermostats), an on-demand backlight and a visible heat indicator. The Electric Heat Thermostat models come with a great 5-year warranty that shows the confidence the manufacturer has in its product.

The Focus PRO Thermostat models are often valued for their great price/quality value and their temperature control accuracy. Some of the most important features of this model include energy savings of up to 40% and preset programs that allow you to set your daily temperature features in advance (for example if you know you are going away on Saturday, there is no point in letting the temperature level remain as if you stayed home, thus decreasing energy costs – you can program the thermostat to start heating the place up again on Monday, when you know you will be back). Other characteristics of the Honeywell Focus PRO Thermostats include easy battery replacement, the largest backlit screen of its class and an extremely easy to read digital display. Just like most other Honeywell thermostats, this model comes with a 5-year warranty that will prove more than enough for anyone’s needs.

The last product series from the professionally installed, programmable thermostat section, the Vision PRO Thermostat, provides maximum comfort without any kind of effort. The thermostat’s touch screen is a feature that thoroughly increases user-friendliness, this also being achieved by offering a large backlit display that is quite easy to read and use. Like most thermostats, the Vision PRO series are also energy saving and can reduce power costs to up to 33% on annual heating and cooling costs. This model also comes with a 5-year warranty.

The other line of programmable thermostats, the Do-it-yourself series are easy-to-use thermostats that you will find quite painless to install. Of course if you get into trouble or if you feel you won’t be able to successfully install the thermostat, it is advised to call for professional HVAC help. The do-it-yourself series doesn’t mean you actually have to install the thermostat by yourself, it just refers to the fact that the thermostats are so easy to install or replace, that anyone could do it, without the need for extensive electrical knowledge. The do-it-yourself thermostats include the following models: the Electric Heat Programmable Thermostat, the Honeywell 5-2 Day Programmable Thermostat, the Honeywell 5-1-1 Day Programmable Thermostat and the Honeywell 7-Day Programmable Thermostat.

The Electric Heat Programmable, Do-it-yourself thermostat model is a temperature control system designed for electric baseboard heat. The model features either a 7-day or a 5-1-1-days programmability setting for electric baseboard heat. Just like most other Honeywell programmable thermostat models, this temperature control system saves up almost 30% on energy, if used and installed correctly. Because it’s do-it-yourself, you can expect an easy interface and an uncomplicated installation. The warranty of this model is shorter compared to the professionally installed models, being only 1-year long.

Honeywell’s 5-2-day programmable thermostats are specifically designed for weekdays-weekend programmability (5 weekdays – 2 weekend days). The model offers a good blend of performance and value and it is extremely easy to install and handle by yourself. It features a protective door that hides a digital LCD monitor, where numerous characteristics are displayed. Energy savings go up to 33% and the model comes with a 1-year warranty.

The third model from the Do-it-yourself series, the 5-1-1-day programmable Thermostat, is similar to the 5-2-day model, except it offers a differentiation of weekend days. The rest of the features are all there, but this model does not use a protective panel to hide the LCD screen, mainly because it offers a different, touch screen control alternative. The model also comes with a 1-year warranty.

Last but not least, the Honeywell 7-day Programmable Thermostat series allows you to set up your heating and cooling program in each day of the week. You can set it to control air conditioning and heating while you are home, or while you are awake and then program it to cut back on temperature and air flow releases when you are away or when you are sleeping, in order to save energy. The model comes in either a conventional or a touch screen version.
