Honeywell thermostat information needed
 

In Menards yesterday I saw a Honeywell RTH7500D thermostat that looks as
though it might meet our needs. I wanted to compare its specs. with
other modes, but I can't find it on the Honeywell Web site.

Does anybody have any information on this?

This is a 7-day thermostat. They also had the RTH7400D, a 5+1+1 model,
but this doesn't show up on the Web site either.

I see some for sale on eBay. This wouldn't this be a superseded model,
would it? Menards has only just started carrying them.

It's a new retail model, part of Honeywell's recently introduced "Vision"
line.

First, Honeywell manufactures stats just for Lowe's and other big box
stores.

Second, save some time and aggravation and call a competent HVAC company to
install a stat of your choice.

This way you will have a stat that is wired properly the first time. This
saves you money. Cause the likely thing to happen is for you to wire the
stat wrong and burn up controls in the furnace and cost you money to have
them fix that problem, then install the stat anyway.

Then they can set up the stat, to work with your particular equipment. This
will insure you are getting the most efficiency that you can out of the
system you have.

You will also get a warranty with the new stat if by chance anything goes
wrong with in the warranty period. (range 1-5 years)

As they are there, have them service the system to make sure it is running
safe and efficiently.
(for maximum savings, and most important...you can rest assured you are safe
in your little castle)

Have a good day!

The last HVAC guy I asked (while he was installing our neighbor's A/C)
about getting our system checked out (may not have been done since being
installed/upgraded by previous owner about three years ago) said, "If
it's working OK, leave it alone."

Depending on the system you have, it should be looked at a minimum of once a
year.

Sometimes more, sometimes less...I don't know what you actually have.

Your advice may be correct for some people, but most of us have the
competence to unhook two wires and put them in the right place on the new
model. Yes, I do know how to read the instructions. My VCR does not flash
12:00 either.

So suddenly everybodies unit only has 2 wires?

I don't think so Tim!

BTW, you would be suprized at the people that can't program a VCR or Stat,
let alone hook either of them up correctly!

Same thing if you have more wires. You follow the instructions. Tens of
thousands of thermostats, many with multiple wires, are successfully changed
each year by plain old homeowners. I'm sure a few do screw up, but to make
a blanket statement that everyone should call a pro is plain silly.

I gave him 'my advice' your's may differ. So be it, but my advice comes from
a true professional that is in this trade.

I also see a lot of damage do to H-Owners that tried it themselves! Some are
very dangerous situations!

I also have no idea of the type of system he has and where he is located to
give him further recommendations.
