A friend installed a Honeywell 5+2 Digital Thermostat last weekend.
The inside temperature reads 68 and I am trying to check its accuracy.
I compared it to two free standing digital thermometers which I
balanced on top of the thermostat (at the same time).
The thermometers readings range from *69 and 71; to 71 and 71.
Any suggestions on determining the *right* temperature are
appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I have an "antique" alcohol bulb thermometer (which I know to accurate),
mounted next to our digital thermostat. *They are spot on with each other.

Find a callibrated analog thermometer and compare your thermostat with
that.

Hmmm.
Where do I find a callibrated analog thermometer that I do not have to
'buy' in order ro check my thermostat?
