Just had a new gas pack installed and the thermostat put in is a Honeywell
T8600D 2069 Chronotherm !V Plus programmable thermostat
The system works good and am happy with it, However, when the times are set
for return and wake, The furnace comes on at least 1 1/4 hours
before the time set. So it ends up the house is heated way longer than
wanted. Is this normal or do I possibly have a thermostat that is
defective or needs some adjustment? System replaced a gas pack installed in
'89 and also had a programmable thermostat with it. It work without any
problems and usually fired up the furnace very close to the time set.
Thanks for any information in advance.

Give it a few days to get to know your home. It is designed to figure
out how long it takes you home to warm up. It then will start warming it up
sooner on a cold night and later on a less cold night. With it turned off,
you would need to set the higher temperature to come on some unknown time
before you wanted it that warm.

I have it and I do like it.

BTW be sure the thermostat has the correct time set. :-)

evaporator coil.....sounds like its leaking....

Thanks for all the responses. I will watch it for a couple more days and see
if it becomes more to the way I want it to run, else I will set it so it is
not being intuitive.

And ... you can delay the setpoint, if all else fails. Instead of 5pm,
say, make it 7pm.

That sort of thing works with mine, so on arriving home there's still
some useful work left for the woodstove to do.
