So, I finally upgraded my old thermostat to the Honeywell RTH7560E, and let me tell you—it’s been a total game-changer! The backlit display is HUGE and super clear, so no more squinting to see the temp. Plus, it shows everything at once—time, current temp, and set point. No annoying menu hopping!
Installation was a breeze. I’m no HVAC pro, but even with my shaky hands (thanks, arthritis), I got it done in like 15 minutes. The wiring was straightforward, though I wish the previous installer had left more slack in the wires. Not Honeywell’s fault though!
The programmable feature is where this thing shines. I set it to drop the heat at night and when I’m out, and boom—my energy bill is already looking happier. It even *learns* how long my system takes to heat/cool, so it hits the right temp right when I want it. Genius.
One tiny gripe: The temp reading was 2°F off compared to my old unit. No biggie—I just adjusted the programming to compensate. But hey Honeywell, an offset setting would’ve been nice!
Overall? 10/10 would recommend. Saved me money, easy to use, and looks sleek on my freshly painted wall (goodbye, ugly beige relic).
