Honeywell HomeTH5220D1003/U Pro 5000 Non-Programmable Thermostat 2H/2C, Standard display

GOOD OEM PRODUCT

My wife and I decided to replace our programmable thermostat with a non-programmable one. The old one was a Honeywell (model TH6220D1028) so we looked for one that physically matched it to make installation easier. Honeywell recommended this model. Sure enough, it was easy to install as the mounting holes were in the identical places and the unit covered the same area of the wall so we didn't need to use a separate back plate or repaint the wall behind the unit. It took no more than 5 minutes to unpack the new one and replace the old one. Set up was straightforward as well.This thermostat is as easy to operate as you'd expect. Four buttons. Fan: on or automatic, System: heat on or off, and Up and Down to set the desired temperature. The displayed numbers are large and easy to read and backlighting makes it easy when it's dark.This is unit is a pro model and comes with a 5 year warranty. The regular retail version comes with a 1 year warranty. The Honeywell website says this should be installed by an HVAC contractor. I had read some reviews that said Honeywell wouldn't honor the warranty if installed by a retail customer so I also asked them about this. I was told that that used to be the case, but since these are now sold through retail channels, they would honor the warranty.

Several years ago, I installed a Programmable Thermostat, which I found difficult to program. Especially when I'm not sure, when I need it on and off, Usually on in the evening, and off during the night. Especially for a whole week.So I thought a non programming system would be better.Turns out, I was right, going back to the old ways of my old unit.This unit was fairly easy to install. Although you do need some skills. Making sure the right Thermocouples go to the right screws. Not that hard, as there are only two wires. And if replacing another unit, just mark which wire is which and marl or tape one of them.I had to drill and install different mounting screws, also not a major issue. Just need an Adjustable Power Drill, and the right sized drill for the plasticinserts.So once you insert the batteries, mount the back plate, the front control panel, easily snaps on. The display is large and bright, And my unit has worked well. I set the temperature I want, and it will maintain that setting. Then I reset it for night time settingsSo if you have any minor mechanical skills and can use a screwdriver, you'll have no problems.If not, then installation can be requested, at a price.

I needed to replace a Goodman Janitrol HPT 18-60 Thermostat and after some guidance from 'do it yourself dot com' someone suggested this as a good non programmable thermostat.After more guidance from the above mentioned site I wired it up, set the few features, and it works perfectly.The only down side is that the thermostat makes a clicking sound when it turns on and off. This issue alone nearly cost the product two start from me, but the click is becoming mildly tolerable. It'll suit its purpose, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Loved adding this. Just put in the batteries and pushed onto unit. Started right up. We have heat again! The batteries came with it. Someone was smart!
