Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell RTH7500D Conventional 7-Day Programmable Thermostat
Customer Review: so far so good!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was easy to install. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I replaced an old Honeywell thermostat. The system was exactly as was shown in the diagram on the instruction. It was easy to program - I didn't even need to read the instruction. You can program each day 4 separate times (wake, leave, return, sleep). You can program each day differently. Each time you program, you can choose to put a check mark on the days you want the same setting. Then you program the high temp for the cool, and the low temp for the heat. That's it. There is a back light so it's easy to check without turning on the light.
This is a must here in Texas where morning temp in the winter so far can be as low as 30 and the high can be as high as 75. We don't need to keep changing the setting to heat or cool because it does it automatically.
We love this so much, we're getting a second one for the downstairs.
Customer Review: Does what it says it does, with no nonsense
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently added three of these to the three zones in our new house. I chose this model over others because it was quite similar to the non-timer thermostats our builder had installed. That may have simplified installation somewhat; the hole spacing was the same and all I had to do was match up the wire colors.
5 minutes with the instruction manual was enough to figure the thing out, a refreshing difference from various other small consumer devices. It does what it is supposed to, and should pay for itself pretty quickly in reduced heating bills.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that one of the three units I purchased failed after a month. But as the other two are functioning perfectly and Honeywell agreed to exchange the broken one, I suspect the failure was a freak occurrence rather than something systemic.
Bottom line - a simple, well-designed product.
Customer Review: Very Happy So Far
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this elsewhere, but I've been so impressed, I had to leave my two cents.
Installation took about 15 minutes for my DIY husband. He failed at the scheduling, however. I was able to program it without even reading the booklet. Yeah for me! This actually has more options than I need. It has: wake, leave, return, sleep. I love that it controls the heat and a/c. Our old model was not programmable and required that you slide a switch between a/c and heat. I don't miss that old thing at all.
Although I haven't received the first electric bill since installing it, I'm certain it will save money. Far too many days someone (me) would forget to bump up the temp during the day, wasting tons of energy and money. I'm sure this will pay for itself in a single summer here, maybe even a single month!
Customer Review: Honeywell RTH7500 works well on my Heat Pump System
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't give it 5 stars only because I've only had this thermostat running for 3 weeks now with no hiccups. It's fairly easy to program for each day of the week and can have multiple daily start/stop times, too. I started by opening up the old thermostat while it was operational, writing down all the wire connections,(I had 8) and then emailing that info to Honeywell tech support. They responded within 2 days with the correct wiring for the RTH7500. Installing was easy. Make sure the power is off to the compressor/pump and no voltages are on any of the wires before you install this thermostat. Also, if there is a big hole where the wires come through the wall, make sure you plug it up as best as you can. This could cause your thermostat to turn on more than it should. Hopefully it will have paid for itself by the end of winter.Customer Review: It works great!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a replace for my non-programmable White-Roders 1F79 which also makes a clicking noise when turned on so I guess Im use to it. I was hoping to find something not as expensive as this product but Im sure its the quality of Honeywell. I have a heat pump system with aux heat and I was pretty much limited on which unit I can purchase, not too much out there my system is capatible with. Installation wasn't too bad as the wiring setup is very similar to my ole stat. Never done this before and didnt have too much trouble seting up the wiring, just read the instructions. Not using the smart response it comes on several hours too early to attempt to be at the temp and time you set, I just program it to be running an hour prior the set time to be awake and back from work, should save lots of dough with this stat, luv it.
