• "Works Great!"

Review excerpt:

I installed the Honeywell Electronic Focus Programmable Thermostat without a problem. Total installation time took about 15/20 minutes. The unit looks really good and the backlit display is great! I also like the fact that it displays both the current temperature inside the house as well as the set temperature. I only have two complaints with this unit. As others have said, when the thermostat needs to turn my central air on, I hear two clicks coming from the thermostat. I suppose I will get used to this over time, as it's not as noisy as my LUX thermostats for the individual heat zones. My second complaint is not really a major one, but I just wish there was a way to program the unit to disable heat. This thermostat in my home will only operate the central air, so when I click the button to turn the system on, it does go to the cool setting first. But when I want to turn the unit off, I have to press the system button twice because the second time you press it, it goes to heat, then the third time goes to off. The instructions include ways to disable the AC and a couple of other scenarios, but none of them allow you to just have the thermostat function for cooling only. So if you're only going to use this unit to operate heat and nothing else, you'll be ok as you can disable the cool setting. Another feature I do like that I forgot to mention before is that when you use the "hold" setting, it will remember the last temperature you had it set for even if you turn the system off. To sum this up, if the clicking sound won't be an issue for you, I would highly recommend this thermostat. I also should mention that I have had no issues at all with the unit keeping the time, as one other reviewer mentioned.
