Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell RTH7500D Conventional 7-Day Programmable Thermostat
Customer Review: Installation of the RTH7500D
Summary: 5 Stars
I have dual heat pumps. A few notes on my particular installation:
1. If your heat comes on with the cool set, or cool air with the heat set, then change your "Heat Pump Changeover Valve" programming. One of my heat pumps energized on heat, and the other on cool, (different manufacturers).
2. Some of my wire connectors on my old thermostats did not have an equivalent on the RTH7500D. For example, my blue colored wires on both units had been connected to "X" on the old thermostats, connects to the "C" on the new. Orange wire from either "O"or "B" on the old, goes to "O/B"on new. Gray wire was "W2" on old, now "AUX" on new then jumped to "E".
Once set up, it works well.
Customer Review: Easy to install device
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is exactly what I needed. I work abnormal hours with unconventional days off. 7 day progammability is great. It works very well and was very easy to program. I did not even have to read the instruction to program it.
Honeywell could have explained what a single stage and multi stage burner were to make it esiaer for a layman and they could also have mentioned that many contractors set up electrical circuits and don't color code so they have to be called back out for a service call.
This is not a problem if a person reconnects the wiring to the same color coded wire, or has a line tracer device.
Customer Review: Fantastic Thermostat
Summary: 5 Stars
Great thermostat. Have a heat pump with emergency heat, so it dramatically limited the number of thermostats that would do the job. Took the old thermostat off the wall, mounted the new base with wiring, and performed the initial programming before 'snapping' the base and the CPU/Display together. A breeze and much better than the standard Honeywell thermostat it replaced. I recommend this thermostat highly and Amazon was $20 cheaper then purchasing at Lowes. Hard to believe, the HVAC company wanted $500 for this thermostat and the labor to install it. Took about 60 minutes to install and program.

I would have given this 5 stars except the installation guide did not have enough details for a heat pump system with aux heat...7 wires worth. Plus, an important jump reference in the guide was a few pages off. Had to call the 24-hr. 800 number to get into the system setup. They were VERY helpful; turned out one button had to be held down more than the guide indicated - about 15+ seconds rather than 5 seconds.
The thermostat has worked flawlessly and we are pleased with the operation and options. Very satisfied with this versatile unit, and the low price, makes this is a very best buy!!!
Customer Review: Great device - but take care when installing!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love my new Honeywell! It does exactly what I want it to do and it is so easy to operate. Plus, it looks pretty cool on my wall. I had heard how easy it was to install, and it was easy(ish) but no cake walk. The biggest problem I faced was removing my old dial from the wall, matching up the wires, and then installing them properly into the new thermostat. The wires didn't exactly match the instructions so there was a little trial and error before success. I haven't received my first full gas bill yet, but I'm hoping that I see a little savings. I definitely recommend this product!
